Introduction: Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO) is a debilitating complication of advanced upper gastrointestinal and pancreatobiliary cancers. While endoscopic stenting offers rapid symptom relief, its long-term durability is limited. Surgical bypass, particularly laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy (Lap-GJ), has gained popularity due to its minimally invasive nature, yet comparative real-world data remain scarce. This study evaluates perioperative outcomes, complications, and short-term mortality of Lap-GJ compared with open gastrojejunostomy (Open-GJ) and endoscopic stent placement in a large tertiary-center cohort.
