    A novel technique allows for tube feeding gastrostomy placement without surgery, benefiting high-risk patients. This simple, safe, and rapid procedure requires no general anesthesia and resulted in minimal complications in pediatric and adult cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical procedures
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical innovation

    Background:

    • Establishing enteral feeding access is crucial for nutritional support.
    • Traditional gastrostomy placement often requires surgical intervention (laparotomy).
    • High-risk patient populations face increased risks with surgical procedures and general anesthesia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new technique for establishing tube feeding gastrostomy.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this non-surgical approach.
    • To determine the suitability of this method for high-risk individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • A new technique for percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement was developed.
    • The procedure was performed without the need for a laparotomy.

  • General anesthesia was typically avoided.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully employed in a cohort of 12 children and 19 adults.
    • The procedure demonstrated minimal patient morbidity.
    • No mortality was observed in the study population.

    Conclusions:

    • This new technique offers a simple, safe, and rapid method for gastrostomy tube placement.
    • It is particularly advantageous for high-risk patients, often avoiding general anesthesia.
    • The procedure shows promising results with low complication rates.
