Laparoscopic gastroduodenostomy involves the
creation of a new connection between the stomach and duodenum. This surgery may
follow the removal of part of the stomach. This procedure is performed with
a minimally invasive method that utilizes a laparoscope (a small video camera)
and small instruments inserted through small incisions.

Conditions
Treated with Laparoscopic Gastroduodenostomy:
Laparoscopic gastroduodenostomy may be performed in
cases of gastric obstruction, pyloric stenosis, gastrointestinal ulcer,
gastrointestinal reconstruction surgery, stomach cancer and benign stomach
tumors.
There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to
laparoscopic gastroduodenostomy. Open gastroduodenostomy, gastrojejunostomy and
laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy are surgical alternatives to the procedure.
Anesthesia
with Laparoscopic Gastroduodenostomy:
Laparoscopic gastroduodenostomy is performed under
general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely
unaware during the procedure.
Potential
Complications from Laparoscopic Gastroduodenostomy:
Possible risks following laparoscopic
gastroduodenostomy include infection, bleeding, dumping syndrome, blood clots
and a negative reaction to the anesthesia. It is also possible to experience
malabsorption, duodenogastric reflux and abdominal pain.
Prognosis
after Laparoscopic Gastroduodenostomy:
The prognosis for a positive end result following
laparoscopic gastroduodenostomy is good for cases of gastric obstruction and
pyloric stenosis. However, the survival rate is not high for stomach cancer.
