Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the feasibility and safety of early feeding in patients with newly placed one-step button (OSB) gastrostomy devices. Twenty-five patients who underwent percutaneous endoscopic button gastrostomy placement were prospectively enrolled. The patients underwent radiographic assessment (Gastrografin gastrograms) 3 hr after gastrostomy placement. Contrast extravasation was not documented in any patient. Aside from one patient who aspirated the contrast solution after the radiologic study, all others (96%) were successfully fed on the day the gastrostomy buttons were placed. In this prospective study of patients with newly placed OSB gastrostomy devices, early initiation of feeding was feasible and safe. In a fashion similar to their tube-style counterparts, button gastrostomy devices provide adequate apposition between the stomach and abdominal wall immediately after their initial placement.
