Bowel obstruction is a common complication in advanced cancer patients. Patients are restricted in quality of life (QOL) due to nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. Prospective data on the feasibility and benefit of decompressive percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (dPEG) are scarce.

The first single-use therapeutic gastroscope was recently approved in Europe, but clinical data to support its use are currently lacking. We aimed to evaluate the performance of this novel device in routine procedures requiring a large working channel.

The first single-use gastroscope is now available in Europe. Besides waste disposal and cost issues, the infection risk and performance remain unclear.

Methods: A dataset of 858 endoscopic images of 182 patients with VA and 846 images from 323 patients with normal duodenal mucosa was collected and used to train a ResNet18 deep learning model to detect VA.
