Summary

Laparoscopic gastrostomy successfully provided enteral nutrition for a patient with a severe head injury after a failed percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. This minimally invasive approach secured the feeding tube and attached it to the abdominal wall.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques
  • Gastroenterology
  • Trauma surgery

Background:

  • Severe head injuries often necessitate long-term enteral nutrition.
  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a common method for feeding tube placement.
  • Complications or anatomical challenges can lead to PEG failure.
