Abstract

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) was performed on 71 cases. Forty-five cases were applied by "Push" method and 26 cases were by "Introducer" method. We compared retrospectively Push method with Introducer one from the stand point of technique, indication, local care, catheter maintenance, complications and catheter troubles. Push method technique requires endoscope insertion twice. On the other hand, Introducer method needs once insertion. On changing the catheter insection under endoscopic : C observation was needed for Push method, but not for Introducer one. Necrosis around the feeding catheter was characteristic complication for Push method.
