Abstract
Access to the gastric lumen can be achieved by different methods. Orogastric tubes and tube gastrostomies are frequently used but these routes have some disadvantages when recurrent gastric intubations or infusions are concerned. The Janeway gastrostomy tube is a simple-to-perform procedure and can serve as an excellent way to reach the gastric lumen of animals. It is also possible to insert large caliber devices such as cameras to examine the gastric lumen. Plugging of the pylorus is also possible with Fogarty catheters either blind or under radiological guidance. The Janeway gastric tube seems to be useful for long-lasting gastrointestinal procedures, for example gastric cancer studies.Entities:
