| Popis: | Background: Current management of malignant obstruction of the upper digestive tract includes surgical gastrointestinal bypass or endoscopic insertion of self-expandable metal stents. The safety, efficacy, and long-term patency rates of anastomoses created using the novel technique of endoscopic gastroenteric anastomosis using magnets (EGAM) are evaluated in this study. Patients and Methods: 15 patients (13 men, 2 women; mean age 64.5 years) with malignant obstruction, who underwent EGAM and had monthly follow-up between December 2001 and May 2003, were included in this study. Results: The procedure was successful in 13 patients (88.66%). The mean survival was 5.23 months. There were four minor complications (30.76%) during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the feasibility, safety. and efficacy of this technique for creating a gastroenteric anastomosis. The success rate was 86.6%, there were no immediate complications, and there was no mortality related to the procedure. |
