Popis: Eighty-two percutaneous enterostomies were performed at three institutions with the Cope suture anchor for stomach or jejunal wall stabilization during alimentation tube placement. The anchors were successfully placed into the stomach or jejunum in 81 cases. Early in the series, two anchors were misplaced, with no sequelae. There were no other complications at the time of placement. In all successful cases, excellent immobilization of the viscus was achieved. Tract dilation and tube placement were easily performed, and there were no guidewire or tube dislodgments.
