Popis: Inability to take in adequate amounts of oral nutrition as well as primary aspiration into the airway are important indications for a gastrostomy. Other reasons for a feeding tube may include supplemental nutrition at night, the need for gastric decompression, or the administration of medications that a child cannot or will not swallow. This video is a step by step description of how to laparoscopically perform nutritional access procedures such as a gastrostomy or gastrojejunostomy. The chapter also discusses the various methods and types of devices.
