Abstract
Nowadays, gastrostomy has been replaced in most instances by less invasive procedures such as percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy or feeding tube jejunostomy. However, gastrostomy still does have a place in highly selected instances, e.g., previous gastric surgery, the presence of ascites, or, in some instances, Crohn’s disease of the small bowel.
