For the period January 2002 to December 2013 it was performed 84 interventions for introduction of gastrostomy tube. The first group included 24 open operations and the second group had 60 laparoscopic operations by using of button devices MIC-KEY (Kimberly-Clark, Roswell, USA) in neonates and infants. Statistically significant difference was not observed during comparison of demographic data of patients. Differences in groups were found in statistical analysis of intra- and postoperative parameters (p<0.05). Mean duration of surgery in the first group was 37.29 min, in the second group - 23.97 min. Time to start of feeding and transition to complete enteral nutrition was less in patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery than after open intervention (10.5 and 19.13 hours, 23.79 and 35.88 hours respectively; p<0.05). It was revealed augmentation of hospital stay in the 1st group in comparison with the 2(nd) group (11.71 and 7.09 days respectively; p<0.05). Frequency of postoperative complications was 18.33% in the 2(nd) group and 24% - in the 1st group (p<0.05). The authors consider that button devices are simply and effective technique of gastrostomy establishment in children. It is associated with minimal surgery duration and allows to start early enteral nutrition in comparison with open techniques.

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.
A prospective observational study on microbiological isolation in low-profile gastrostomy's feeding extension sets in children on long-term home enteral nutrition.
Nutr Clin Pract
November 2024
Department of Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Hospital Infantil Universitario Niño Jesús, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Although reuse of enteral feeding equipment has been linked to risk of microbial contamination and risk of infection, there is a paucity of research in this area. Per the manufacturer's instructions low-profile gastrostomy feeding extension sets (LPG-FES) may be reusable for the same patient, but there are no recommendations on replacement intervals.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study to analyze and compare the contamination rate of LPG-FES after 15 (T1) and after 30 days (T2) of regular use.

Introduction: Vesicostomy button drainage is a recognised alternative to clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) in children with urethral obstruction, sensate urethra or neurological/behavioural issues.
Aim: To report the indications, complications and long-term bladder functional outcomes in a 15-year cohort of patients with button vesicostomy.
Materials And Methods: AMT Mini one gastrostomy button was inserted via a surgical vesicostomy, or percutaneously under cystoscopic guidance.
Gastrojejunostomy junction perforation resulting from Dobhoff tube insertion in a patient with a history of Roux-en-Y surgery: a case report.

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.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is widely used for long-term enteral nutrition in patients unable to maintain adequate oral intake. Despite advancements in PEG techniques, complications remain a concern. We report a case of a 94-year-old bedridden man who developed significant complications after PEG placement using the pull method.
