Gastrostomy: Past and Present
Dr.Khayal Al Khayal
2
Overview: Gastrostomy
The delivery of health care has changed over the past two decades More aggressive approach to the placement of tube gastrostomies Earlier return to home Transfer to chronic care facility Obvious benefits of enteral feeding over parenteral nutrition
3
Overview: Gastrostomy
Open surgical gastrostomies have been supplanted by closed procedures These procedures are generally safe and effective Complications are frequent Surgeon must be aware of both the options for enteral access and complications related to tube gastrostomies

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

21
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy
“Introducer Technique” (Russel et al., AM J Surg 1984;148: ) 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 ;152: 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 Ho et al., Clin. Radiol. 56, , 2001
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

35
PEG: Rare Complications
Squamous cell carcinoma at PEG site (Ananth and Amin Br J Oral Max Surg 2002;40: ) Local trauma at gastrosotmy placement may predispose to hematogenous and lymphatic spread Perhaps best to place tube after resection/debulking of tumour Biopsy suspicious granulation tissue around PEG site
