Abstract

Background: Diagnosis of Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a challenge in 3rd world countries. Gastric outlet obstruction occurs because of impeding emptying of stomach mechanically, and it has varied causes. This study was taken up to know the etiological factors and management. Material And Methods: This was a descriptive prospective study done at Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College for a period of 2 years from June 2019 to May 2021. A set of inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined and followed. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (OGD) was done in all cases while Barium meal study was done in a few cases to make the diagnosis. Relevant operative procedure was done, and patients were managed post operatively. Result: Cicatrised Duodenal ulcer (DU) was the commonest cause followed by Carcinoma Pyloric antrum (Ca PA). Majority of the patients were males (68%) with male to female ratio of 2.13:1. Vomiting was one of the major presenting symptoms in all the patients. Conclusion: Cicatrised DU was the commonest cause for GOO in present study. Present study highlights the increasing incidence of Ca PA. This could be due to better management of DU at an early stage.
