Abstract

Placement of gastrostomy for long-term enteral feeding and therapeutic purposes is fundamental in management of several issues in children including neurologic or metabolic diseases, intestinal failure, oesophageal obstruction and others. In 1980, Gauderer et al. [1] introduced the concept of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) which reached a wide application due to its minimal invasiveness and low cost. However, it may result not applicable to small children or to those carrying anatomical features which may increase the risk of complication during or after PEG procedure.
