Abstract
The results of this retrospective study suggest that SEMS insertion is better than surgical GJ for palliation of patients with GOO in terms of clinical success, morbidity, and mortality. Technical success rates were similar. SEMS placement should be proposed as the first-line treatment for relief of GOO. However, a randomized, comparative, prospective study of SEMS vs. laparoscopic GJ is needed.
