  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Gastrostomies are vital for managing pediatric surgical and nonsurgical conditions.
  • Various techniques and devices exist for gastrostomy placement.
  • Catheter-related complications are a concern with traditional gastrostomy methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in children.
  • To highlight the benefits of the gastrostomy button in reducing complications.
  • To emphasize the importance of patient selection and multidisciplinary care in gastrostomy management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experience with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.
  • Focus on the use of the gastrostomy button device.
