Abstract
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to develop a simple radiological method for the creation of percutaneous gastrostomy.
Material and Methods:
Percutaneous gastrostomy was created in 15 patients. After a blunt dissection of the abdominal wall under local anesthesia, puncture of the stomach was performed. A 6-mm peel-off introducer sheath was used to place the permanent catheter. Immediate use of the catheter was allowed.
Results:
The procedure was successful in all cases and no procedural complications were seen.
Conclusion:
The method is simple, cost-saving, and may be recommended as an alternative to other methods.
