Article Synopsis
- The study compares complications between two methods of gastrostomy: T-fasteners gastrostomy (T-PEG) and pull-technique gastrostomy (P-PEG) in pediatric patients.
- A total of 146 patients were included, with the results showing similar overall complication rates but P-PEG had higher instances of sedation and early dislodgment.
- The findings suggest that T-PEG may be a safer option, leading to fewer urgent complications and requiring less sedation compared to P-PEG.
Objective: Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is a condition in which there is well-differentiated pancreatic tissue that lacks any anatomic or vascular contact with the pancreatic gland. It normally arises from the stomach but can be found in other locations. Although it is usually asymptomatic, obstructive symptoms, bleeding, or malignant degeneration can occur.
