Abstract
BACKGROUND: Surgical bypass procedures often provide excellent palliation in cases of malignant gastric outlet obstruction. Not uncommonly outlet obstruction can recur due to tumour involvement of the gastroenterostomy site. A further surgical procedure may not be feasible in these circumstances. AIMS: To report on the successful use of expandable metal stents in two such cases.Entities:
