Özet
Background/Objective: Many methods of laparoscopic gastrostomy have been described, but in the majority of these, purse-string sutures and fixation of the stomach to the abdominal wall are not performed simultaneously. In this study, we aim to present a new laparoscopic gastrostomy tube (GT) placement method developed in accordance with the classical Stamm method. Materials and Methods: Intracorporeal purse-string suture is placed at the anterior wall of the stomach where the GT is intended to be placed. While purse-string sutures are being placed, in each bite, the needle is passed through from a loop thread prepared by extracorporeal and the two threads are suspended outside. The stomach is punctured with the hook cautery, the GT is inserted, and both threads are knotted outside the abdomen. Results: We prospectively placed GT by using our method in 16 patients with an average age of 5 years and most of them with neurological developmental delay. Fundoplication was performed in most of the cases in the same session. No complications were encountered. Conclusions: Our method is a feasible approach for GT placement by the purse-string suturing and the fixation of the stomach to the abdominal wall without extending the port incision.
