Core Tip

Core Tip: Duodenal stenting is a widely used palliative treatment for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), offering early oral intake and shorter hospitalization compared to surgical bypass. However, long-term outcomes are impacted by stent occlusion, migration, and other complications. This review comprehensively compares duodenal stenting with surgical gastrojejunostomy and endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy, providing insights into optimal stent selection, placement techniques, post-procedural management, and troubleshooting strategies. By addressing key clinical challenges and areas requiring further research, this review serves as a practical guide to optimizing duodenal stenting for GOO in real-world practice.
