Gastric outlet obstruction
Gastric outlet obstruction is a medical condition where there is an obstruction at the level of the pylorus, which is the outlet of the stomach. Individuals with gastric outlet obstruction will often have recurrent vomiting of food that has accumulated in the stomach, but which cannot pass into the small intestine due to the obstruction. The stomach often dilates to accommodate food intake and secretions. Causes of gastric outlet obstruction include both benign causes, as well as malignant causes, such as gastric cancer. Treatment of the condition depends upon the underlying cause; it can involve endoscopic therapies, other medical therapies, or surgery to resolve the obstruction.
