A new cannula enables safe percutaneous gastrostomy by creating tight stomach adherence, even when the stomach is not endoscopically visible. This device simplifies the procedure and may have other gastrointestinal applications.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Percutaneous gastrostomy (PG) requires secure fixation of the gastric wall to the abdominal wall for safe execution.
  • Endoscopic visualization of the stomach is often necessary for achieving this adherence, limiting PG in certain patients.

Observation:

  • A novel cannula has been developed to facilitate puncture and fixation of the gastric wall.
  • This device aims to achieve tight peritoneal adherence of the stomach to the abdominal wall.

Findings:

  • The newly developed cannula allows for the creation of necessary peritoneal adherence for percutaneous gastrostomy.
  • This technique enables safe PG even in cases where the stomach is not endoscopically accessible.

Implications:
