Abstract
We performed a new technique of laparoscopic gastrostomy in a 69-year-old man with far-advanced esophageal cancer that was difficult to treat with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. The operation time was 23 minutes, and blood loss was a few milliliters. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no infection was observed at the site of gastrostomy insertion. Laparoscopic gastrostomy is a safe, minimally invasive surgery.
