===Other differentials===
Gastric outlet obstruction should also be differentiated from other diseases that cause chronic [[nausea and vomiting]]. The differentials include the following:<ref name="pmid25667023">{{cite journal |vauthors=Parkman HP |title=Idiopathic gastroparesis |journal=Gastroenterol.

Overview

Gastric outlet obstruction occurs due to pathologies that cause intrinsic or extrinsic obstruction of the pylorus and antrum. Infiltration, scar formation or inflammation of the gastric outlet leads to intrinsic obstruction, while malignancy of neighboring structures such as the pancreas, gallbladder, liver and duodenum may lead to extrinsic obstruction of the gastric outlet. Common causes of GOO include PUD, gastric polyps, caustic ingestion, duodenal stricture, systemic amyloidosis of the gastrointestinal tract, eosinophillic gastroenteritis and obstruction by gallstones. Five percent of all cases of peptic ulcer disease (which is the most common benign cause of GOO) worldwide, develop gastric outlet obstruction. GOO presents as nausea, vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities, weight loss, malnutrition, fullness of epigastrium, early satiety and bloating. Laboratory studies of patients may show hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis which is a characteristic feature due to vomiting. In case of of GOO due to suspected PUD, tests for H pylori should also be performed in patients. Barium upper GI studies help in the determination of site of obstruction, visualization of the gastric silhouette, presence of gastric dilation, pylorus narrowing, presence of ulcers, tumors and differentiation from gastroparesis. Upper endoscopy performed in patients may help with visualization of the gastric outlet, biopsy sampling in case of intraluminal pathology and thereby helps rule out the presence of malignancy in patients with symptoms of Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD). Surgery is the primary modality of treatment for patients with GOO. It is required for more than 75 percent of patients, with scarring, fibrosis and tumors. The aims of surgery in case of GOO include relief of obstruction, relief in patients with failure to respond to medical therapy or failure to improve even after 72 hours of therapy and correction of PUD symptoms. Various types of surgical procedures performed in cases of GOO are vagotomy and antrectomy, gastrojejunostomy (vagotomy and antrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction), balloon dilatation, pylorotomy, pyloroplasty and laparoscopic techniques. Care must be taken to look out for various complications arising after surgery such as perforation, anastomotic leak, dilation and dysmotility of stomach, edema of the gastric wall and postgastrectomy syndromes.

Classification

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) may be due to any underlying condition that results in mechanical obstruction to emptying of gastric contents. GOO is classified based on the underlying cause into benign GOO and malignant GOO. Statistically, benign GOO comprises 37 percent of cases and includes peptic ulcer disease whereas malignant GOO comprises of the remaining 53 percent of cases.

Pathophysiology

It is understood that GOO is the result of multiple intrinsic (lumen & wall) or extrinsic (involving neighbouring structures) pathologies that involve the antrum and the pylorus.

  • Intrinsic obstruction: Conditions involving infiltration, scar formation or inflammation of antrum and the pylorus may lead to intrinsic obstruction and GOO.
  • Extrinsic obstruction: Any malignancy of neighboring structures such as duodenum, liver, gallbladder and pancreas may lead to extrinsic obstruction of gastric outlet.

Causes

Causes of GOO may be classified as benign and malignant.

Benign causes

Benign causes of GOO can either be congenital or acquired. The acquired causes of GOO may further be categorized into acute or chronic. The acquired acute causes of GOO results from edema and inflammation of antrum and the pylorus. The acquired chronic causes of GOO results from intrinsic obstruction due to fibrosis and scar formation. In general, benign causes of GOO include: [1][2][3][4]

Congenital causes of gastric outlet obstruction include:[23][24]

Sodium chloride load test

  • Presence of >400 mL NaCl solution in stomach after half an hour, is diagnostic of GOO.

Epidemiology and Demographics

The epidemiology of GOO is as follows:[43][44]

Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

The following history is relevant in patients with GOO:[45][46]

The clinical presentation of GOO is as follows:

Early stages:[5][26]

Late stages:[29][28][47][48]

Physical Examination

In the late stages of GOO, patients may develop signs of malnutrition and incomplete obstruction. Signs of malnutrition include weight loss and signs of dehydration. Signs of incomplete obstruction include findings such as abdominal mass, visible gastric peristalsis, fullness of epigastrium and a tympanitic mass on percussion. {{#ev:youtube|UVJYQlUm2A8}}

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory investigations suggestive of GOO include Hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis (due to vomiting). In order to assess the severity and etiology of GOO, other investigations such as CBC, electrolyte panel, tests for H Pylori and liver function tests may be done.[49]

Imaging Findings

Imaging studies such as plain radiographs, contrast upper gastrointestinal (GI) studies and Computed Tomography (CT) with oral contrast may be used for evaluating patients with symptoms of GOO.

X ray

An x-ray (obstruction series or barium study) may be helpful in the diagnosis of GOO. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of GOO include gastric dilatation. Findings on barium or Gastrografin study help in the determination of site of obstruction, visualization of the gastric silhouette, Gastric dilation, narrowed pylorus, presence of ulcers and tumors. GOO may also be differentiated from gastroparesis in which gastric dilation is not associated with the narrowing of the pylorus.

Computed tomography (CT) with oral contrast

CT with oral contrast or CT-guided biopsy may be done in suspected cases with equivocal findings on X Ray and Barium Upper GI studies. Findings of CT are variable and include those of the underlying condition.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Endoscopy

Upper endoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of GOO. An upper endoscopy aids in visualization of the gastric outlet, Biopsy sampling in case of intraluminal pathology. In addition, Endoscopic biopsy helps rule out the presence of malignancy in patients with symptoms of Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) :[51][52]

Sodium chloride load test

In sodium chloride test, the patient is infused with 750 mL of sodium chloride solution into the stomach via a nasogastric tube (NGT). After half an hour if > 400 mL is left in the stomach, the diagnosis of GOO is made.[53]

Needle-guided biopsy

Needle guided biopsy is used to evaluate patients for metastasis, in order to detect the primary tumor on histology.

Treatment

Medical Therapy

Surgery

Surgery is the primary modality of treatment for patients with GOO. It is required for more than 75 percent of patients, with scarring, fibrosis and tumors. The aims of surgery in case of GOO include:

  • Relief of obstruction
  • Relief in patients with failure to respond to medical therapy or failure to improve even after 72 hours of therapy
  • Correction of PUD symptoms

Preoperative evaluation

Preoperative evaluation of patients include:

Guidelines for surgery

The following points need to be considered by surgeons:

Types of surgical procedures

The types of surgical procedures performed in cases of GOO are as follows:[22][77][78][79][80][81][82]

Contraindications to surgery

Contraindications to surgery include the following conditions:

Complications of surgery
