Fluoroscopically guided percutaneous gastrostomy (FGPG) is a safe and effective method for enteral feeding. This minimally invasive technique has expanded indications and few contraindications, offering a favorable alternative to other gastrostomy tube insertion methods.

Area of Science:

  • Medical procedures
  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional radiology

Background:

  • Percutaneous gastrostomy has evolved significantly over the past decade.
  • Indications for fluoroscopically guided percutaneous gastrostomy (FGPG) have broadened.
  • Few contraindications exist, though procedural modifications may be necessary.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and efficacy of FGPG.
  • To discuss indications, contraindications, and technical aspects of FGPG.
  • To evaluate the safety and outcomes of FGPG compared to alternative methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on FGPG.
  • Description of the modified Seldinger technique for FGPG.
  • Analysis of reported complications and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • FGPG is associated with rare complications and satisfactory enteral feeding establishment.
  • Gastropexy is not routinely employed by most interventionalists.
  • The use of gastrojejunostomy tubes to mitigate reflux remains a debated topic.

Conclusions:

  • FGPG is a well-established and favorable technique for enteral nutrition.
  • The procedure demonstrates a good safety profile and efficacy.
  • Ongoing discussions exist regarding specific technical modifications and tube choices.
