Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy--to push or pull. A prospective randomized trial.
Abstract
A prospective randomized study was undertaken to evaluate the Ponsky-Gauderer and Sachs-Vine types of gastrostomy kits. The techniques, complications, morbidity, and mortality with each type of device are compared. Both devices are found to compare favorably to the traditional surgically placed gastrostomy.
