    This study presents a novel percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy technique using a Foley catheter for enteral feeding in cancer patients. The simple, reliable method showed no complications in five patients, improving prior endoscopic gastrostomy procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is crucial for enteral feeding.
    • Existing PEG techniques can be complex or have associated complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a new, simplified percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy procedure.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this novel technique for pre-operative enteral feeding.

    Main Methods:

    • A 9 French Foley catheter is introduced percutaneously into the stomach under endoscopic guidance.
    • The catheter's terminal balloon is inflated, and slight traction is applied to ensure gastric-abdominal wall apposition.

    Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully applied in 5 patients with cancer of the cardia requiring pre-operative enteral feeding.

  • No complications related to the gastrostomy catheter placement were observed in the patient cohort.

    • Conclusions:

    • This novel endoscopic percutaneous gastrostomy method is simple, reliable, and cost-effective.
    • The procedure represents an improvement over existing endoscopic percutaneous gastrostomy techniques.
