Gastric outlet obstruction is a condition that prevents foods and fluids from passing normally when the passage between the stomach and small intestine is blocked or narrowed. It may result from inflammation, ulcers, scarring, or certain tumors. It is accompanied by symptoms such as persistent nausea, repeated vomiting after meals, difficulty in eating, and unexpected weight loss. Hence, it is advised to seek medical evaluation without delay to prevent serious complications.
Our experienced team of experts includes gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, radiologists, and nutrition specialists who work to provide personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s condition, using modern diagnostic tools and surgical techniques.
After the thorough evaluation with endoscopy and imaging, our specialists may recommend minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic procedures, or open surgery to remove or bypass the blockage. They aim to provide treatment that improves digestion, supports adequate nutrition, and relieves obstruction by restoring normal movement of food through the digestive tract.
Once the obstruction is relieved, patients can pass food and fluids through the digestive tract more effectively, restoring nutrient content and hydration and reducing symptoms such as abdominal fullness, pain, vomiting, and weight loss.
Following treatment, the healthcare professional advises patients to gradually shift from liquids to solid foods and follow the dietary modifications suggested by their nutritionists. Alongside, continued follow-up is important to monitor the underlying condition, ascertain treatment progress, and identify any recurrence of symptoms that may require further evaluation.
