Abstract

This chapter discusses the evaluation, medical management, and diagnosis of GOO, as well as explores endoscopic management options for both benign and malignant disease. Endoscopic therapies discussed include through-the-scope balloon dilation, botulinum toxin injection, self-expandable metal stents, and decompressive percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. Additionally, a brief overview of novel and developing therapies including peroral endoscopic pyloromyotomy, gastrojejunostomy with lumen-apposing metal stents, and gastrojejunostomy formation with self-assembling magnets is provided.
