Systematic review and meta-analysis: Stents vs gastrojejunostomy

Ref. Type of study GJ studies Surgery Endoscopic stent No differences
Minata et al[8], 2016 Systematic review LGJ (Mehta 2006, Jeurnink 2010) OGJ (Jeurnink 2010, Fiori 2013) Lower re-intervention rate Less invasive COVERED: Higher migration UNCOVERED: Higher obstruction Technical success Complications
Nagaraja et al[13], 2014 Meta-analisis Laparoscopic GJ (Mittal 2004, Mehta 2006, Jeurnink 2007, Jeurnink 2010) Shorter LOS Technical and clinical outcomes
Ly et al[38], 2010 Systematic review Open GJ (Jeurnink 2007, El-Shabrawi 2006, Mehta 2006, Espinal 2006, Mejia 2006, del Piano 2005, Maetani 2005, Fiori 2004, Mittal 2004, Maetani 2004, Johnsson 2004, Wong 2002, Yim 2001) Laparoscopic GJ (Jeurnink 2007, Mehta 2006, Mittal 2004) More major medical complications More likely to tolerate an oral intake More likely to tolerate an oral diet earlier Shorter LOS Survival 30 d-mortality Major complications

LOS: Length of stay; GJ: Gastrojejunostomy.
