Summary

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is preferred for enteral access. Laparoscopic gastrostomy and jejunostomy offer safe, effective alternatives with comparable outcomes to open surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical techniques

Background:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the standard for enteral access.
  • Surgical gastrostomy is less preferred than PEG.
  • Laparoscopic approaches are favored over open surgery when PEG is not feasible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review indications for laparoscopic gastrostomy and jejunostomy.
  • Discuss various techniques for minimally invasive enteral access.
  • Evaluate outcomes of laparoscopic gastrostomy and jejunostomy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of Medline database.
  • Search conducted from 1959 to 2002.
  • Analysis of indications, techniques, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic gastrostomy is a suitable alternative for patients unsuitable for PEG.
  • Laparoscopic jejunostomy is indicated when gastrostomy is contraindicated.
  • Laparoscopic procedures demonstrate favorable success and complication rates compared to open surgery.

Conclusions:

  • PEG is the primary method for gastrostomy placement.
  • Laparoscopic gastrostomy and jejunostomy are safe and effective minimally invasive options.
  • Laparoscopic enteral access is comparable in cost to open procedures.
