ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

Gastroparesis that is refractory to standard dietary and medical management may benefit from surgical treatment with gastric electrical neurostimulation, which has shown promise in reducing symptoms of the disease. Pyloroplasty may serve an adjunctive role to a gastric stimulator, but the precise benefit remains unclear. The present study compares reported rates of symptom improvement following gastric neurostimulator implantation with and without pyloroplasty. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

A single center retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who received operative management for symptom refractory gastroparesis from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2021 was performed. Subjects were assigned to cohorts based on treatment with gastric electrical stimulation alone (GES-only) or combined with pyloroplasty (GES + PP). A survey-based assessment was administered post-operatively that evaluated cardinal symptoms of gastroparesis (nausea, vomiting, early satiety) before and after treatment.

RESULTS:

In total, 42 patients (15 GES-only, 27 GES + PP) were included in the study. Both groups reported a high degree of improvement in global symptom control following surgery (93% vs 81%) with no differences between treatment cohorts (p = 0.09). Early satiety demonstrated better improvement in patients who received gastric stimulation alone (p = 0.012). Subgroup analysis of diabetic gastroparesis patients showed a 2.2% decrease in hemoglobin A1c levels in the GES + PP group (p-0.034).

CONCLUSIONS:

Symptom reduction in refractory gastroparesis appears to improve after placement of a gastric neurostimulator with or without the addition of a pyloroplasty procedure.
