Using a Fogarty catheter for endoscopic gastrostomy simplifies the procedure. This method prevents stomach deflation and improves device manipulation compared to traditional silk sutures.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Endoscopic gastrostomy is a common procedure.
  • Traditional methods using silk sutures present technical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the advantages of using a Fogarty catheter over silk sutures in endoscopic gastrostomy.
  • To identify improvements in procedural ease and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of Fogarty catheter technique versus silk suture technique.
  • Focus on overcoming specific procedural difficulties.

Main Results:

  • Fogarty catheter use avoids stomach deflation.
  • Eliminates issues with stomach slippage from cannulas.
  • Facilitates passage through small caliber tubes.
