ABSTRACT:
A specific catheter for percutaneous gastrostomy is indicated in all patients undergoing serious abdominal, general, or urologic surgical operations, or during the post-operatory period. This catheter is preferable to the naso-gastric tube which causes discomfort to patients and can be responsible for gastric erosions, gastritis, gastric bleeding, middle ear otitis, pulmonary atelectasis, and pneumonia. Moreover, this catheter is indicated for patients who require a prolonged enteral feeding. The catheter is positioned into the stomach at the end of the surgery through the abdominal wall, lateral to the abdominal incision by a percutaneous technique, and allows the best drainage of acid-mucous secretions from the stomach and duodenum. This catheter because of its material, its tip, its configuration inside the stomach, is a change from the traditional approach to patients improving their quality of life.
