Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) represents a clinical and pathophysiological consequence of any disease process which produces mechanical impediment to gastric emptying. Intrinsic or extrinsic obstruction of the pyloric channel or duodenum is the usual pathophysiology of GOO and the mechanism of obstruction depends upon the underlying etiology. Classification of diseases causing GOO into 2 well-defined groups of benign and malignant facilitates management and treatment. Historically GOO has been considered a disease process synonymous with chronic peptic ulcer disease. However since the advent of proton pump inhibitors, the complications from peptic ulcer disease have drastically decreased with a change in ratio between benign and malignant gastric outlet obstruction.Most patients with GOO present with vomiting as their cardinal symptom and tend to develop dehydration and dyselectrolytemia if untreated. Malnutrition and weight loss are frequent when the condition approaches chronicity and are most significant in patients with malignant etiologies.
