Surgical treatment of medically refractory gastroparesis in the morbidly obese

摘要

Surgical management of medically refractory gastroparesis remains a challenge. Case series and small retrospective studies describe clinical benefits from surgical intervention; however, no study reports the efficacy of gastric electrical stimulation (GES) or Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy with or without near-total gastrectomy (RYGJ) in morbidly obese patients with severe gastroparesis.
