Abstract

In recent years, decompressive gastrostomy has emerged as a therapeutic option for people with terminal cancer who experience intestinal obstruction without an initial surgical indication and refractory to medical treatment. The objective is to provide a better quality of life by restoring the oral route. Its contraindications have varied over time; however, new techniques have allowed broadening the spectrum of indications for this procedure. It has been reported that this technique supports symptom control and allows the return of the patients to their place of care. It could also allow restarting the oral route in order to maintain quality of life.
