Abstract
Radiological placement of gastrostomy tubes was first described in 1983. Pe rcutaneous gastropexy to facilitate gastrostomy placement was reported in 1 986. Debate has continued to this day regarding the necessity of gastric fi xation. We describe our technique of a simplified gastropexy to facilitate transgastric enterostomy and advocate its more widespread use.
