Abstract

We present a case report of laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy in a patient with duodenal obstruction from unresectable cancer. We performed an side-to-side intracorporeal gastrojejunostomy using endoscopic stapling devices. The patient had no morbidity and he was discharge on fourth postoperative day. Laparoscopic gastric bypass is an alternative to open procedure in well selected cases.
