Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of fluoroscopically directed percutaneous gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy catheter placement with gastropexy.
Materials And Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed the charts from 643 patients referred for fluoroscopically directed percutaneous gastrostomy or gastrojejunostomy during a 9 1/2-year period. In 615 patients, placement was attempted with use of three T-fastener gastropexy devices followed by percutaneous gastric puncture. Placement of a 14-F gastrostomy or gastrojejunostomy catheter was then accomplished with the Seldinger technique.
Results: A catheter could not be placed in 28 patients (4.4%) owing to overlying viscera or prior gastric surgery. In the remaining patients, 701 procedures, including revisions, were performed, including 643 gastrojejunostomies (92%) and 58 gastrostomies (8.3%). The success rate for catheter placement was 100%. Revision was necessary in 83 instances in 64 patients (13.5%). Forty-six (55%) of these were attributed to tube dislodgment, but only two repeat gastric punctures were necessary secondary to tract disruption. There were three major complications (0.5%) and 29 minor complications (5.3%). No complications were attributed directly to gastropexy. Thirty-day follow-up data were available for 393 patients (64%), and 14-day follow-up data were available for 550 (89%). The 30-day mortality rate was 5.8% (23 of 393 patients); none of the deaths were related to the procedure.
Conclusion: Fluoroscopically directed percutaneous placement of gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy catheters with routine gastropexy is a safe procedure. Catheter revision was necessary in 13% of patients and was usually secondary to tube dislodgment, with tract disruption an unusual complication.

Laparoscopic Reversal of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass with Hand-Sewn Gastro-Gastrostomy and Resection of the Alimentary Limb.
Obes Surg
December 2024
Department of Upper Gastrointestinal and Bariatric Surgery, University Hospitals Sussex (St Richard's Hospital), Chichester, UK.
Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reversal might be necessary to alleviate refractory surgical or nutritional complications, such as postprandial hypoglycemia, malnutrition, marginal ulceration, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, or excessive weight loss. The surgical technique of RYGB reversal is not standardized; potential strategies include the following: (1) gastro-gastrostomy: hand-sewn technique, linear stapler, circular stapler; (2) handling of the Roux limb: reconnection or resection (if remaining intestinal length ≥ 4 m).
Case Presentation: We demonstrate the surgical technique of a laparoscopic reversal of RYGB with hand-sewn gastro-gastrostomy and resection of the alimentary limb with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life.
Pediatric laparoscopic versus percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement: a single-center review.
Pediatr Surg Int
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Emory School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the outcomes of two gastrostomy tube placement techniques—laparoscopic (LAP) and percutaneous endoscopic (PEG)—in pediatric patients, focusing on complications and the need for additional procedures.
- - Researchers reviewed records of 688 patients aged 0-18 who had GT placements, finding that LAP patients were generally younger and lighter than PEG patients, but both groups had similar rates of major complications.
- - Results showed that PEG patients had a higher likelihood of developing skin infections, while no LAP placements failed during the study period, indicating potential advantages of LAP over PEG in certain aspects.
Biliopancreatic limb obstruction after one-anastomosis gastric bypass; a very rare and fatal event: A case report and literature review.

Obesity Treatment Center Faculty of Medicine, Shahed University, Tehran, Iran.
The biliopancreatic limb (BPL) obstruction occurrence after one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has not been well described in the literature. A 65-year-old female with a history of OAGB surgery presented with acute weight loss and abdominal pain. Imaging studies revealed a bezoar in the duodenal diverticulum obstructing the small bowel.

Background: Gastrojejunostomy junction perforation is a rare yet critical complication associated with enteral tube placement, presenting unique challenges in patients with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old white female with a complex medical history, including heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stage 4 chronic kidney disease, and prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in 2015, experienced a significant decline in her health. She was discharged to a skilled nursing facility after a fall but deteriorated rapidly in the 2 weeks before admission.

Article Synopsis
- * She was diagnosed with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, often linked to insulinomas or rarer conditions like nesidioblastosis, especially in post-bariatric patients.
- * Despite multiple treatments, including dietary changes and medications, the patient still suffers from frequent hypoglycemic episodes four years post-surgery.
