Abstract
In 31 patients who had undergone extensive intraabdominal urological s urgery, a gastrostomy was performed for gastric decompression instead of introduction of a nasogastric tube. There were no complications dur ing the procedure. All patients tolerated the gastrostomy well. Two we re fed through the gastrotomy. We conclude, that gastrostomy is a safe method of gastric decompression.
