    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Gastrostomy is essential for long-term enteral nutrition.
    • Surgical gastrostomy has traditionally been the standard procedure.
    • Percutaneous methods offer potential advantages in patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the refined technique of percutaneous gastrostomy.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous gastrostomy.
    • To compare percutaneous gastrostomy with surgical gastrostomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Performing percutaneous gastrostomy in nine patients.
    • Accumulating a total of 17 percutaneous gastrostomy procedures.
    • Following patients for extended periods post-procedure.
