Gastrostomy Placement in Children: The Method of Operation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The various technical options that have been described for gastrostomy tube placement in children include the time honored Stamm procedure, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), percutaneous fluoroscopy-guided gastrostomy, several types of laparoscope-assisted gastrostomy (LG), video-assisted gastrostomy, and a combined laparoscopic and endoscopic approach as well as different variations of the methods used in the hands of the reporting surgeons [1]. Minimally invasive procedures for enteral access in children have evolved over the years, resulting in various techniques of gastrostomy tube placement. The two most common techniques are PEG and LG. This study compares the reported outcomes of both procedures exclusively in children. Consensus is lacking as to which procedure, if any, is superior.

Study of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Outcomes
Background and Objective: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the technique of choice for providing enteral access to patients who require long-term enteral nutrition. This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes and complications of PEG. Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 77 patients (45 men, 32 women; age mean: 58.9±19.7 years, Min: 14 years, Max: 89 Years)...

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease resulting in destruction of the post-synaptic nicotinic receptors at the neuromuscular junction. Classically, the earliest symptoms of MG are ocular, including ptosis and diplopia. Other less common early symptoms include dysphagia and fatigable chewing. Our case report describes the unusual presentation of MG in a teenager patient and presented f...
متن کاملGuidelines for routine gastrostomy tube replacement in children.
Endoscopic placement of a gastrostomy is the safest method of inserting a gastrostomy in children who are going to require full or supplemental enteral feeding for more than six weeks. Once a stoma tract has formed successfully following initial placement of a gastrostomy tube, the device can be changed to a balloon, button or non-balloon type. Community nursing teams often support a number of ...
