Abstract
The recently described technique of endoscopic placement of a permanent feeding gastrostomy is reviewed with several modifications. Our experience in 23 adults has led us to conclude that this nonsurgical technique is the procedure of choice in achieving long-term enteral nutrition in patients who have an intact, nonobstructed gut and in whom the stomach can be directly apposed to the anterior abdominal wall.Entities:
