  • Title: Laparoscopic continent gastrostomy.
    Author: Arnaud JP, Casa C, Manunta A.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1995 Jun; 169(6):629-30. PubMed ID: 7771631.
    Abstract:
    Surgical feeding gastrostomy is attended by a significant morbidity and mortality. The percutaneous endoscopic route is regarded as the best method, but it is not feasible in cases with pharyngoesophageal stenosis. We here describe a new method using laparoscopy. The technique is easy to perform. The patient retains continence, with the abdominal wall muscle acting as a sphincteric mechanism around the gastric tube.
