Abstract:
:The usefulness of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for decompression in patients with unresolving intestinal obstruction by gynecological malignancy is examined. Between April 1993 and August 1995, 34 consecutive patients with small-bowel obstruction by gynecological cancer, heavily pretreated with surgery and chemotherapy, were admitted to our prospective study. PEG was performed in 32/34 patients (94.1%). Failure in the placing of the tube occurred in 2 patients (5.9%). Twenty-seven patients (84.4%) experienced symptomatic relief after a few days from PEG and tolerated soft and liquid foods. All of these patients were discharged from the hospital and underwent parenteral nutrition at home. The median postoperative hospital stay was 7 days (range 3-45). No major complications due to PEG placement itself occurred in our patients. Only 4 patients (12.5%) had postprocedure nausea and vomiting that was unresponsive to the conventional therapy. The use of Octreotide (0.6 mg/24 hr) obtained relief from symptoms until death. The gastrostomy remained in place for a median of 74 days (range 5-210). Relief from symptoms after PEG placement and total parenteral nutrition permitted continuation of palliative chemotherapy in 8 patients (25%). We suggest percutaneous endoscopic drainage gastrostomy technique as the procedure of choice for long-term drainage of unresolving small bowel obstruction in patient with metastatic abdominal gynecologic malignancy.
