A STUDY OF PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC GASTROSTOMY, DUODENOSTOMY AND JEJUNOSTOMY

Abstract

Under the local anesthesia, we performed endoscopic formation of gastrostomy in 12 patients, and of duodenostomy or jejunostomy in two subtotal gastrectomized patients. All patients were unable to swallow but had normal digestive function. Complication was not experienced except for subcutaneous abscess in one PEG case. This method was very usefull and safe for the patients with poor anesthetic or poor operative risk.
