Gastrostomy without laparotomy--a percutaneous endoscopic technique: review of 35 cases. Indian Journal of Gastroenterology. 1993 Jan; 12(1): 12-3http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/64714Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) was performed in 33 patient with head injury, one with laryngeal cancer, and one with gastric volvulus. The gastrostomy tube was prepared from 20 F Foley catheter and a plastic micropipette tip. The complications encountered included peritubal leak in three patients (9%) and abdominal wall hematoma in one patient (3%). There was no procedure-related mortality. We recommend PEG for tube enteral feeding in patients who have lost the swallowing reflex.engAdultAgedCatheterization --methodsCraniocerebral Trauma --complicationsEnteral NutritionFemaleGastroscopy --methodsGastrostomy --methodsHumansLaryngeal Neoplasms --complicationsMaleMiddle AgedStomach Volvulus --complicationsJournal Article
