Percutaneous gastrostomy for enteral feeding

CS Ho, RR Gray, M Goldfinger, IE Rosen and R McPherson

Over a period of 18 months, percutaneous nonendoscopic gastrostomy using the Seldinger technique was successfully performed in 32 adults for enteral feeding. There were no deaths or major morbidity related to the procedure. Three patients died of existing disease within 30 days; one had peritoneal irritation following dislodgement of the catheter two days after the procedure but responded to conservative treatment with antibiotics alone. The authors conclude that this procedure is simple and safe and represents the preferred method of gastrostomy for enteral feeding.
