Abstract
Percutaneous gastrostomy and gastro-jejunostomy are new techniques which may be used instead of surgical or endoscopic gastrostomy to feed patients with an intact small bowel. We have successfully performed 72 gastrostomies on 67 patients who had had unsuccessful procedures and required surgery. Two patients developed peritonitis when their catheter dislodged into the peritoneal space.Entities:
