Complications of operative and endoscopic gastrostomies
Abstract:
In a retrospective study of fifty cases of gastrostomy insertion performed operatively (OG) or using a percutaneous endoscopic approach (PEG), complication rates were 74 percent (nineteen adults) and 76 percent (seventeen children) in the OG group, and 86 percent (fourteen adults) in the PEG group. While most complications were minor, major ones were usually related to the underlying disease and the general condition of the patient.
