Primary laparoscopic placement of gastrostomy buttons for feeding tubes

This laparoscopic technique allows primary placement of a gastrostomy button that is cosmetically and functionally superior to a Gastrostomy tube, and has proven to be simple and effective.

Alleviation of retching and feeding intolerance after fundoplication.

The finding that there are multiple contributors to feeding problems supports a threshold hypothesis for retching and lends credibility to the maxim "retching is rarely reflux." heuristics that respect surgical constraints on gastric performance, physiological scaling, and the whole patient yield improved growth and tolerance even in complex patients.

Laparoscopic Gastrostomy Placement in Children Has Few Major, but Many Minor Early Complications

LAPG is a safe procedure with few major complications, but a high rate of minor complications, and NI patients had fewer gastrostomy-related complications.

Compared with PEG gastrostomy and open Gastrostomy, LAP GT placement appears to have lower index complications and reoperation rates, and at least comparable readmission outcomes.

Complications in children with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement

PEG is a safe operative technique; although minor complications are relatively common and occur in up to 1/3 of patients, there is a fairly low rate of severe complications.
