    Abstract:
    This study was conducted to analyze the outcomes of endoscopic stent placement (n=9) and bypass surgery (n=9) with regard to perioperative complications and dietary intake conditions in patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer with stenosis. Regarding perioperative complications, 1 patient in the stent group experienced a stent failure and 1 patient in the bypass group developed an adhesive ileus. Dietary intake began from the first day in the stent group and from the fourth day in the bypass group, and it was continued for 55 and 113 days, respectively. There was no difference in the introduction of chemotherapy or length of treatment between the groups, and the survival period for the patients in the stent and bypass groups was 83 and 127 days, respectively. Endoscopic stent placement for unresectable advanced gastric cancer with stenosis is a safe and effective method for improving the quality of life( QOL) of patients.
