Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic placement of transabdominal feeding tubes is common for enteral nutrition and gastric decompression.
  • Direct placement into the duodenal bulb is a potential advancement for this technique.

Observation:

  • Two patients underwent percutaneous endoscopic duodenostomy when percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was not possible.
  • Enteral nutrition was successfully maintained for over six weeks in both cases.

Findings:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic duodenostomy is technically feasible.
  • The procedure positively impacted patient quality of life, as measured by the Spitzer Quality of Life Index and Karnofsky Performance Status.

Implications:

  • This technique expands endoscopic feeding tube placement options.
