    Summary

    Percutaneous gastrostomy (PG) and gastroenterostomy (PGE) are effective for alimentation and decompression. The coaxial trocar technique and needle puncture systems offer advantages for initial feeding tube placement.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Background:

    • Percutaneous gastrostomy (PG) and gastroenterostomy (PGE) are established procedures.
    • Indications include nutritional support and bowel decompression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report initial experiences with PG and PGE in 40 patients.
    • To evaluate different techniques for tube insertion.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of Seldinger technique (with air distension) and coaxial trocar technique.
    • Evaluation of a preferred system using 18-gauge needle puncture for direct feeding tube insertion.
    • Assessment of small bowel catheter positioning (PGE) versus gastrostomy alone.

    Main Results:

    • Small bowel catheter positioning (PGE) was more common (31 patients) than gastrostomy alone (8 patients).

  • Coaxial trocar technique allowed initial insertion of larger, softer tubes, reducing exchanges.
  • Five complications occurred, two major (catheter dislodgement).

    • Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous gastrostomy and gastroenterostomy are feasible with various techniques.
    • The coaxial trocar and needle puncture systems facilitate initial placement of feeding tubes.
    • Careful patient selection and monitoring are crucial, especially for those with head and neck tumors.
