The patients suffer the associated symptoms of recurrent episodes of emesis, persistent abdominal distention or fullness after eating, early satiety and weight loss. [spandidos-publications.com]

Workup
You might have to undergo a more extensive medical workup looking for unusual underlying causes for peptic ulcer disease. [verywell.com]
WORKUP Laboratory Studies • Obtain a CBC. Check the hemoglobin and hematocrit to. rule out the possibility of anemia. • Obtain an electrolyte panel. [slideshare.net]
As part of the initial workup, exclude the possibility of functional nonmechanical causes of obstruction, such as diabetic gastroparesis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment
Possible treatments for this disease include conservative treatment with drugs, endoscopic sphincterotomy and surgical therapy. The choice is based on the etiology, the severity of the disease and the patient's general condition. [spandidos-publications.com]
Features nearly 300 succinct, well-illustrated chapters that summarize today’s best treatment and management advice for a wide variety of diseases and associated surgeries. [books.google.com]
Surgical treatment The choice of surgical treatment depends on the size and localization of the perforation, the viability of the duodenal walls, the degree of local contamination and underlying etiology. [tandfonline.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis A functioning and unrestricted intestine is a prerequisite for living independent of the most advanced and continuous medical care available. Achieving this desirable goal is the rule with surgery for duodenal obstructions of all types. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Prognosis Over the past 3 decades, the prognosis of patients with gastric perforation has improved. But delays in diagnosis and treatment can lead to death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Prognosis will depend on the type and extent of the obstruction, the infant's age at diagnosis, the infant's overall condition, and the presence and severity of any other congenital anomalies. [encyclopedia.com]
In the rare cases when surgery cannot be done, prognosis is poor. Obstruction may be caused by scarring, spasm, or inflammation from an ulcer. [merckmanuals.com]
Etiology
The choice is based on the etiology, the severity of the disease and the patient's general condition. [spandidos-publications.com]

Pathology Etiology Gastric outlet obstruction can be due to malignant or benign causes. [radiopaedia.org]
The incidence of GOO in patients with peripancreatic malignancy, the most common malignant etiology, has been reported between 15- 20%. [tropicalgastro.com]
Etiology of PUD However, we must remember that approximately 5-15% of patients considered Hp negative, despite performing wide comprehensive etiological studies, do not get to find again the precise cause of PU, which are referred to as "idiopathic”. [elynsgroup.com]
