6. History 1837: Egeberg first to suggest gastrostomy
1849: Sedillot of Strausbourg, performed first gastrostomy in human patient
patient died ten days later of peritonitis
1869: Maury was the first American to perform a gastrostomy this patient died as well
1870: Nine reported cases of gastrostomy in the literature
All the patients died
Usually of peritonitis
7. History 1876: Verneuil performed first successful gastrostomy
oppossed visceral and parietal surfaces with silver wire
used for feeding
problems with leakage of gastric juice
1880: L.L. Staton first succesful gastrostomy in America
8 yr old boy with a lye stricture of the esophagus
opposed visceral and parietal surfaces
patient chewed food and ejected it into feeding tube
Patient reportedly lived fifteen years
8. 1891: Witzel Gastrostomy Pursestring suture is placed in anterior stomach
Incision is made in the stomach
Tube is passed for 5cm and pursestring secured
Additional sutures are placed to imbricate the gastric wall
Stomach is then secured to the abdominal wall
9. 1894: Stamm Gastrostomy Anterior wall of mid-stomach
Separate incision in abdominal wall for exit of gastrostomy
Pursestring suture is placed followed by incision into the stomach
Feeding tube then inserted into stomach and pursestring secured
Second pursestring placed to invaginate the first pursestring
Stomach is then secured to the abdominal wall
10. Early 1900s: Janeway Gastrostomy Mucosa lined permanent gastrostomy
flap of stomach 5-6 cm in width is made
Flap is then made into a tube by approximating the edges
A feeding tube is then advanced into stomach
the tube is then brought out through abdominal wall
mucosa sutured to the abdominal skin
11. Early 1900s: Beck-Jianu Gastrostomy Permanent mucosa lined
Long gastric tube fashioned from the greater curve
based on the left gastroepiploic a.
Gastrocolic ligament and gastrosplenic omentum divided
stomach is divided longitudinally and sutured
Tube is then exteriorized and mucosa is secured to skin
Can use GI stapling device
12. 1939: Glassman’s Gastrostomy Mucosa lined
leakage of gastric juice prevented by formation of coned shape diverticulum
anterior wall of stomach grasped with Babcock clamp
pulled up into cone shape
pursestring suture placed around base
second and third pursestring are placed above
Lambert sutures are then placed to create circular valve
13. 1980: Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Gauderer and Ponsky (J. Ped. Surg., 15:872, 1980)
Gastrostomy without laparotomy
“Pull Technique”
pre-procedure antibiotic prophylaxis
Intravenous sedation and local anesthesia
Gastroscopy is performed and the stomach insufflated with air and transilluminated
Site for placement selected and a small 5-8mm incision is made
Intravenous catheter is quickly introduced through abdominal and gastric walls and needle removed
14. Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) “Pull Technique”
Guidewire grasped with snare
Snare, guidewire and gastroscope pulled through mouth
Commercially available PEG tube is then attached to guidewire
PEG pulled retrograde through mouth, esophagus, stomach, stomach wall and abdominal wall
Gastroscope re-inserted to confirm positioning of PEG
Tension is applied to the PEG to ensure gentle approximation of stomach and abdominal wall
Outer bolster then applied to secure position

Once seen emerging from anterior abdominal wall, tube is grasped and pulled into position
Gastroscope re-inserted to confirm position
21. Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy “Introducer Technique” (Russel et al., AM J Surg 1984;148: 132-137)
Endoscopist is observer
Puncture is performed as usual
Guidewire inserted
Introducer with outer sheath is then passed over wire into gastic lumen
Foley then passed through sheath
Sheath then peeled away
Traction placed on balloon and secured
22. Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastro-Jejeunostomy Gastric feedings may be inappropriate:
Gastric Atony
Gastroesophageal reflux
PEG can be modified to provide jejunal feeding
Guidewire is passed through previous PEG and advanced to duodenum
Feeding tube is then advanced over wire into dudenum
23. 1981: Radiological Percutaneous Gastrostomy Percutaneous gastrostomy for jejunal feeding. Pershaw RM. Surg Gyne Obstet 1981;152:659-660
U/S performed to ensure liver not over puncture site
Stomach is distended with CO2 via NG
Stomach punctured with needle
Gastropexy to anchor stomach wall to abdominal wall
Guidewire passed into stomach and dilated to 16 Fr
Catheter then advanced over guidewire into stomach and confirmed with contrast
24. 1990: Laparoscopic Gastrostomy Edleman and Unger (Surg Gyne Obstet 173: 401, 1991)
Local or general anesthesia
CO2 insufflation
5mm umbilical port and mid epigastric ports
Stomach is grasped and a site selected below left costal margin
7 cm 18 guage needle catheter is guided into the stomach
a J-wire fed into stomach
Dilators are passed over the wire
16 Fr peel away sheath finally placed and balloon feeding tube fed into stomach
