Objectives: To know the frequency of gastroesophageal carcinoma andits management at Isra University Hospital Hyderabad Sindh. Study Design: Descriptive,Prospective. Place and Duration of Study: Isra University Hospital Hyderabad during the periodof January 2014 to January2016. Patient and Methods: Fifty two patients with gastroesophagealmalignancy were scrutinized for elective and emergency surgery according to the stage andtumor resectability & observed for postoperative complication rate. Data is prepared in SPSSversion 17. Inclusion Criteria: Carcinoma of esophagus and stomach. Exclusion Criteria:Benign lesions of esophagus and stomach (Tuberculosis, Bourevet’s syndrome, Band ofLadd’s, Diaphragmatic Hernia, Phyto/Tricobezoar). Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) causedby bilio pancreatic, retroperitoneal or abdominal wall mass. Results: Among fifty two patients11(22%) were with carcinoma of esophagus and 41(78%) with carcinoma stomach causingGOO; accounting 38(73%) male & 14(27%) females with age range of 29-69 years. Majorpresenting complaints of carcinoma of esophagus were progressive dysphagia from solid toliquid with significant weight loss while history of heamatemesis was found in only two patients.Carcinoma stomach mainly presented with symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO);partial or complete I.e. vomiting, fullness and epigastric mass with weight loss. Out of total 52patients; 35 were biopsied and staged preoperatively while 17 patients could not be biopsiedbefore surgery either because of inadequate tissue specimen or scope negotiation problem.However after surgery their biopsy was found out malignant. All such patients were optimizedbefore surgery for correction of hemoglobin, electrolyte imbalance and nutritional supportFeeding jejunostom & gastrojejunostomy were mainly performed for carcinoma esophagus andstomach while for resectable tumors Ivor Lewis, McKeon or Billroth I or II were also performedaccording to the general patient condition and the local resectability of the tumor mass. Ourpost-operative complication rate was 26% and comprised nausea, vomiting, wound infection,and delayed gastric emptying which were treated conservatively. Our operative mortality wasnone. Conclusion: Most of our cases were in advanced stage of malignancy which was mainlydealt with Feeding jejunostomy & Gastrojejunostomy. However Esophagogastric intubation inadvanced malignancy is the safe & effective alternative if available.

Gastric bezoars are rare and are usually found incidentally. They can sometimes cause severe complications, including gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) or gastric pneumatosis (GP). In cases of bezoars with GP, the optimal treatment strategy has not yet been defined. We report the case of an 89-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension who presented to our emergency room with a 2-day history of upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Physical examination revealed no rebound tenderness or guarding, and laboratory values revealed no elevation of the serum lactate level. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed a dilated stomach with significant fluid collection, GOO, and GP due to a 42 × 40 mm mass composed of fat and air densities. Emergency esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed two gastric bezoars, one of which was incarcerated in the pyloric region. We used various endoscopic devices to successfully break and remove the bezoars. We used endoscopic forceps and a water jet followed by an endoscopic snare to cut the bezoars into several pieces and remove them with an endoscopic net. Follow-up endoscopy confirmed that the gastric bezoar had been completely removed. As seen in this case, endoscopic treatment may be a safe and viable option for the extraction of gastric bezoars presenting with GOO and GP.

Corrosive ingestion in pediatric population can have devastating consequences. Pyloric stricture which is a rarer complication has not been discussed in details in existing literature. Whereas the presentation is more or less similar, a “case specific” approach may be required for the best outcome. We analyzed our series of eight patients to formulate a suitable approach to its management. This was a prospective observational study in the department of Pediatric Surgery in a tertiary health care centre in central India. Eight (n=8) patients with corrosive injuries exclusive to the pyloric antrum were analyzed with respect to the corrosive ingested, symptomatology, nutritional status, investigation findings, surgery undertaken and follow up. Total number of patients in our study were eight. Male -7 and female-1, mean age of 6.8 years, ranging from 4 and 10 years, most common agent was acid, ingested accidentally. Period of development of gastric outlet obstruction was 23 days, range between 11 days and 33 days. Initially presented with odynophagia but later developed features of gastric outlet obstruction. Procedure performed were Heineke Mickulicz pyloroplasty and Billroth I gastroduodenostomy with FJ depending on the intra operative findings. No significant post operative complications were encountered on follow up, all the patients had improved general condition and gained adequate weight. No re do surgeries were performed. Corrosive injury of the UGI tract is not uncommon in children. Pyloric stricture as a complication is relatively rare. Parents may seek consultation late only after the child has lost reasonable amount of weight. UGI Endoscopy and UGI contrast study are indispensable to evaluate the severity of damage and formulate the optimum plan of surgery. Early surgical intervention gives excellent result. Both Pyloroplasty and Billroth I anastomosis are safe with low morbidity and excellent long term outcome.

Background: Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) mechanically impedes gastric emptying, normal emptying of the stomach. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for general surgeons in their daily practice. This paper highlights the etiology, clinical presentation and treatment outcome of GOO.Methods: A Prospective study was conducted on patients with GOO treated at Rajarajeswari medical college and hospital, Bangalore during September 2015 to august 2017. Data was tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistical methodology.Results: Carcinoma stomach with antral growth and cicatrized duodenal ulcer (both 41.5%) were the most common cause of gastric outlet obstruction. Male were more affected than females (2.5:1). Most common symptom was vomiting and abdominal pain (noted among all), followed by loss of appetite (83%) and loss of weight (82.35%). 94.1% patients of Cicatrized duodenal ulcer underwent truncal vagotomy with posterior gastrojejunostomy and 5.9% underwent truncal vagotomy with antrectomy. 58.8% patients of carcinoma stomach, underwent distal gastrectomy with ante-colic Roux-en-Y gastro- jejunostomy, 12.1% patients underwent subtotal gastrectomy with ante-colic and Roux-en-Y gastro jejunostomy and 4.8% patients underwent palliative gastrojejunostomy. In corrosive antral stricture Billroth I gastrectomy was done. Patients of pancreatic malignancy underwent palliative anterior gastrojejunostomy and pseudo- pancreatic cyst was treated by cystojejunostomy. The average hospital stay was 10-14 days and an overall mortality of 5.8% for malignant patients was noted.Conclusions: Study concludes that gastric outlet obstruction is an important and a common surgical condition in tertiary hospital. Malignancy and benign cicatrized duodenal ulcer being the most common cause.

BACKGROUND: Since late 1960s, the prevalence of peptic ulcer disease and its complications has been steadily decreasing. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the changing trends in the prevalence and complications of peptic ulcer in Kashmir. METHODS: A cohort of 10474 people aged 15-60 years in district Baramulla of Kashmir was interviewed about symptoms, complications, and surgery related to peptic ulcer. People were enquired about smoking, use of NSAIDs, H2 Receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors and endoscopies. All symptomatic and randomly selected group of asymptomatic people underwent esophago-gastro-cluodenoscopy. RESULTS: In symptomatic group, 286 (41.45%) people hod peptic ulcer and in asymptomatic group 24 (5.35%) had peptic ulcer. There were 71 already diagnosed cases of peptic ulcer; totaling 381. Thirty three people had surgery for peptic ulcer. The point prevalence of peptic ulcer was 3.54% and lifetime prevalence 8.96%. The highest prevalence was in 4th decade. Bleeding was seen in 23.63%, gastric outlet obstruction 4.20%, ulcer perforation 0.52%. 9.39% of peptic ulcer patients had undergone surgery. When compared to previous study in 1985 in Kashmir, there was decrease in point prevalence of 25%, in life-time prevalence of 20.14%, Gastric outlet obstruction by 51.7%, ulcer perforation by 87%, surgery rate by 60% and bleeding by a marginal 2%. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of peptic ulcerand its complications (except bleeding) are showing downward trend in Kashmir over the last 20 years. JMS 2012;15(2):136-40
