Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Esophageal cancer patients with complete upper alimentary tract occlusion require effective feeding solutions.
  • Existing methods for nutritional support may be complex or less efficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified laparoscopic feeding gastrostomy technique.
  • To offer a simple, easy, and cost-effective method for early nutritional support.

Main Methods:

  • A laparoscopic technique utilizing two trocars and video control.
  • Exteriorization of a stomach fragment through a 12-mm skin incision.
  • Creation of a narrow channel in the abdominal wall for catheter insertion.

Main Results:

  • The procedure was successfully applied to 11 patients.
  • Mean observation time was 3.5 months.
  • The gastrostomy allowed for early and temporary catheter-based nutrition.

Conclusions:

  • The modified laparoscopic feeding gastrostomy is a simple, effective, and cost-efficient alternative.
  • This method provides superior nutritional support for patients with upper alimentary tract stenosis.
  • The technique facilitates early initiation of feeding and offers flexibility for temporary use.
