title: [Enteral prostheses for palliative treatment of gastroduodenal obstruction: endoscopic procedure].
abstract: Malignant gastroduodenal obstruction may cause significant morbidity. Insertion of enteral prostheses as a palliative treatment is an acceptable option to achieve an appropriate gastric voiding without the morbidity associated to palliative surgery, with a lesser procedure-related mortality and a lower cost, while providing a better quality of life. Its is important to unify and consolidate the endoscopic procedure for the placement of enteral prostheses, avoiding variations that may preclude an adequate analysis of this procedure outcome.
