Abstract
Traditionally, the initiation of enteral nutrition after a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is performed between 12 and 24 hours. Different research suggests that early initiation might be a safe option. Our aim was to determine whether starting enteral nutrition 4 hours after performing PEG is a safe practice in terms of risk of intolerance, complications, or death, compared to starting it at 12 hours. We carried out a prospective, randomized, multicenter study in third and fourth level institutions in Bogotá and Cundinamarca, between June 2020 and May 2022, 117 patients were included who were randomized into 2 groups, group A with early nutrition initiation (4 hours), and standard group B (12 hours). The most frequent mechanism of dysphagia was cerebrovascular disease (43%), followed by complications of COVID19 infection (26%). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups evaluated regarding the percentage of intolerance to nutrition, RR = 0.93 (CI 0.30-2.90), there were also no differences in terms of postoperative complications, (RR) = 0.34 (CI 0.09-1.16), and no differences were found in mortality between the evaluated groups, (RR) = 1.12 (CI 0.59-2.15). In conclusion, early initiation of nutrition through the gastrostomy, 4 hours after performing the PEG, is a safe behavior that is not related to greater intolerance to nutrition, complications, or death, compared to later initiation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multipathological patients are a vulnerable population with high comorbidity, functional impairment, and nutritional risk. Almost 50% of these hospitalized patients have dysphagia. There is no consensus on whether placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube provides greater clinical benefit. The purpose of this study was to know and compare 2 groups of multipathological patients with dysphagia according to the mode of feeding: PEG vs. oral. METHOD Retrospective descriptive study with hospitalized patients (2016-19), pluripathological, with dysphagia, nutritional risk, over 50 years with diagnoses of: dementia, cerebrovascular accident (CVA), neurological disease, or oropharyngeal neoplasia. Terminally ill patients with jejunostomy tube or parenteral nutrition were excluded. Sociodemographic variables, clinical situation, and comorbidities were evaluated. Bivariate analysis was performed to compare both groups according to their diet, establishing a significance level of p < .05. RESULTS 1928 multipathological patients. The PEG group consisted of 84 patients (n122). A total of 84 were randomly selected to form the non-PEG group (n434). This group had less history of bronchoaspiration/pneumonia (p = .008), its main diagnosis was stroke versus dementia in the PEG group (p < .001). Both groups had more than a 45% risk of comorbidity (p = .77). CONCLUSIONS multipathological patients with dysphagia with PEG usually have dementia as their main diagnosis, however, stroke is the most relevant pathology in those fed orally. Both groups have associated risk factors, high comorbidity, and dependence. This causes their vital prognosis to be limited regardless of the mode of feeding.

Abstract
AIM To review the outcomes of a nurse-only guideline for replacement of gastrostomy tubes (g-tubes) in a pediatric emergency department (ED) and compare rates of success, failure, length of stay (LOS), and return visits with that of ED physicians. DESIGN Nursing g-tube guidelines, created by a nurse educator and nursing council, were instigated on January 31, 2018. Variables examined included LOS, age at visit, return visit within 72 hours, reason for replacement, and any postplacement complications. REVIEW METHODS Data of g-tube placement by nurses and physicians were compared using t test or χ 2 analysis (IBM-SPSS version 20, New Orchard Road, Armonk, NY). The institutional review board determined the study to be exempt from human subjects. The STROBE checklist was used and completed accordingly. DATA SOURCES Chart abstraction and data were collected from January 1, 2011 through April 13, 2020, and medical records were obtained using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes for g-tubes: Z93.1, K94.23. RESULTS A total of 110 patients were included in our study. Fifty-eight underwent nursing-only replacements; 52 were replaced by physicians. Nurse replacement success rate was 98.3% with an average stay of 22 minutes. Physician success rate was 100% with an average stay of 86 minutes. The difference between nursing and physician LOS was 64.6 minutes. No patient in either group experienced postreplacement complications. CONCLUSIONS The initiation of nurse-only management of dislodged g-tubes was successful, safe, and had a shorter LOS when compared with physicians in the pediatric ED. IMPACT Our study determined the implications of nurse-only replacement of g-tubes in a pediatric ED. We found that nurses replacing g-tubes was equally safe and effective as physician counterparts. In addition, we found that it significantly reduced the LOS for patients, which has consequences on patient satisfaction and billing. PATIENT/PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Nursing staff were trained in g-tube replacement using guidelines created by a nurse educator and nursing council. Patients either had their dislodged g-tubes replaced by the trained nurse or a physician and comparisons on the outcomes were made. Patients were aware of the study and consented to have their medical records accessed to make the data comparisons. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE With more than 189,000 children in the United States relying on g-tubes, nursing staff will inevitably be involved in the care of patients with such a device. In addition, as pediatric EDs continue to develop longer and longer waiting times, we must learn how to better use our nursing staff for procedures within their scope and minimize LOS. Our research demonstrates the safety, feasibility, and general benefits of having the pediatric nursing staff replace g-tubes in the ED, and it is hoped that this will lead to beneficial policy changes. WHAT DOES THIS ARTICLE CONTRIBUTE TO THE WIDER GLOBAL COMMUNITY - Demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of nurse-only g-tube replacement- Reports on the statistically significant difference in LOS between physician and nurse replacement of g-tubes in a pediatric ED- Has the ability to lead to policy change in the pediatric ED that will allow for greater patient satisfaction and decrease patient cost.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE At present, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the procedure of choice in establishing a permanent feeding tube in patients with chronic severe dysphagia. This is the first prospective randomized study in adults comparing PEG with radiologically inserted gastrostomy (RIG). METHODS Randomization of 106 patients, eligible for both techniques, to PEG (pull method) or RIG. The groups were comparable in terms of age, body mass index, and underlying diseases. Adverse events were reported 10 and 30 days after the operative procedure, and mortality was up until 6 months. The validated European Quality of life 5 Dimensions 3 level version (EQ-5D) questionnaire was used for health status measurements. RESULTS The procedures were successfully completed in all patients. The median operative time was 10 min for PEG and 20 min for RIG (p < 0.001). The overall rate of adverse events was lower for PEG (22%) than for RIG (51%, p = 0.002), mostly due to less local self-limiting stoma reactions and tube problems. The 30-day mortality was lower after PEG (2% versus 14%, p = 0.020). Patient-scored health status remained low for the entire cohort, with an EQ-5D utility index of 0.164. Self-rated health was low but improved in the RIG group (52.5 from 41.1, out of 100). CONCLUSION PEG can be recommended as the primary procedure in patients in need of a feeding gastrostomy, mainly due to a lower frequency of tube complications. However, as the two techniques complement each other, RIG is also a valid alternative method.

Abstract
For patients requiring long-term (>4 weeks) jejunal nutrition, jejunal medication delivery, or decompression, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension (PEG-J) or a direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (DPEJ) may be indicated. PEG-J is the preferred option if a PEG tube is already in place or if simultaneous gastric decompression and jejunal nutrition are needed. DPEJ is recommended for patients with altered anatomy due to foregut surgery, high risk of jejunal extension migration, and whenever PEG-J fails. Successful placement rates are lower for DPEJ but recent publications have reported improvements, partly due to the use of balloon-assisted enteroscopy. Both techniques are contraindicated in cases of active peritonitis, uncorrectable coagulopathy, and ongoing bowel ischaemia, and relative contraindications include, among other, peptic ulcer disease and haemodynamic or respiratory instability. In this narrative review, we present the most recent evidence on indications, contraindications, technical considerations, adverse events, and outcomes of PEG-J and DPEJ.

Abstract
Gastrostomy tubes benefit patients but also introduce hazards and costs. Most of these costs tend to be administratively invisible, but clinically expensive. Nurses, residents, emergency physicians, surgeons, and others routinely manage complaints about gastrostomy tubes or sites, and the time and effort costs are enormous. Despite widespread use of gastrostomy tubes and the large "cost of ownership," scant instruction guides practitioners on troubleshooting the panoply of tube-related problems. Instead, clinical folk-wisdom leaves staff disarmed, resorting to lore or maladaptive work-arounds that are futile or even harmful. But tubes and gastrostomies fail in predictable ways. This guide reviews commonly used gastrostomy tubes and how they are placed. Routine care of these tubes both in the immediate postoperative period and long-term is detailed. Then, specific gastrostomy tube complications and their principle-based countermeasures are described, organized by presenting complaint. Throughout, specific clinical pitfalls are called out along with their remedies. The aim is to demystify these devices and dispel myths that lead to error.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS A subset of patients needing long-term enteral access are unable to undergo a conventional transoral "pull" percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). We assessed the safety and efficacy of an introducer-style endoscopic direct PEG (DPEG) and an interventional radiologist guided gastrostomy (IRG) among patients unable to undergo a pull PEG. METHODS In this single center, non-randomized, pilot study, patients unable to undergo a transoral Pull PEG were prospectively recruited for a DPEG during the index endoscopy. IRG procedures performed at our center served as the comparison group. The primary outcome was technical success and secondary outcomes included 30-day and 90-day all-cause mortality, procedure duration, dosage of medications, adverse events, and 30-day all-cause hospitalization. The Charlson comorbidity index was used to compare comorbidities. RESULTS A total of 47 patients (68.3 ± 7.13 years) underwent DPEG and 45 patients (68.6 ± 8.23 years) underwent IRG. The respective Charlson comorbidity scores were 6.37 ± 2 and 6.16 ± 1.72 (P = 0.59). Malignancies of the upper aerodigestive tract were the most common indications for DPEG and IRG (42 vs. 37; P = 0.38). The outcomes for DPEG and IRG were as follows: technical success: 96 vs. 98%; P = 1; 30-day all-cause mortality: 0 vs 15%, P < 0.01; 90-day all-cause mortality: 0 vs. 31%, P < 0.001; 30-day hospitalization: 19 vs. 38%; P = 0.06; procedure duration: 23.8 ± 1.39 vs. 29.5 ± 2.03 min, P = 0.02; midazolam dose: 4.5 ± 1.6 vs. 1.23 ± 0.6 mg; P < 0.001, and opiate dose: 105.6 ± 38.2 vs. 70.7 ± 34.5 µg, P < 0.001, respectively. Perforation of the colon during IRG was the sole serious adverse event. CONCLUSION DPEG is a safe and effective alternative to IRG in patients unable to undergo a conventional transoral pull PEG and may be considered as a primary modality for enteral support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE De novo percutaneous placement of radiologically inserted low-profile or 'button-type' gastrostomy catheters (LPG) is infrequently reported in adults. This study compares the safety and clinical outcomes of primary percutaneous placement of LPG catheters and traditional balloon-retention gastrostomy catheters (TG) using image guidance at a single institution. DESIGN This was a retrospective, single-institution review comparing initial LPG and TG radiologically inserted catheter placements in a 36-month time period. The age, gender, indication, catheter type and method of anaesthesia of 139 consecutive initial gastrostomy placement procedures were recorded. Total catheter days without intervention, major and minor complications, reasons for reintervention, and procedure fluoroscopy times were compared. RESULTS During the 36-month study period, 61 LPG and 78 TG catheters were placed. Mean total catheter days prior to intervention was 137 days in the LPG group and 128 days in the TG group (p=0.70). Minor complications including cellulitis, pericatheter leakage and early catheter occlusion occurred in 4.9% (3/61) in the LPG group and 9% (7/78) in the TG group (p=0.5). Major complications including early catheter dislodgement and bleeding requiring transfusion (in one patient) occurred in 4.9% (3/61) in the LPG group and 7.7% (6/78) in the TG group (p=0.4). Procedure fluoroscopy time was lower in the LPG group (2.56 min) compared with the TG group (4.21 min) (p<0.005). CONCLUSION Primary placement of low-profile or 'button-type' gastrostomy catheters is technically feasible with a low complication rate similar to that of traditional radiologically inserted gastrostomy catheters.

Abstract
To assess the complications of one-step button percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (B-PEG) and determine risk factors for developing stomal infections or gastropexy complications. A retrospective study of 679 children who underwent a B-PEG procedure in a single tertiary care center over a 10-year period to December 2020 was conducted. Patient characteristics, early complications (occurring ≤ 7 days after the procedure), late complications (> 7 days after the procedure), and outcomes were collected from medical records. A list of potential risk factors, including age at procedure, prematurity, underlying neurological disease, and undernutrition, was determined a priori. At least 1 year of follow-up was available for 513 patients. Median follow-up duration was 2.8 years (interquartile range 1.0-4.9 years). Major complications were rare (< 2%), and no death was related to B-PEG. Early complications affected 15.9% of the study population, and 78.0% of children presented late complications. Development of granulation tissue was the most common complication followed in frequency by tube dislodgment and T-fastener complications. Only 24 patients (3.5%) presented stomal infections. Young age at the time of PEG placement (odds ratio (OR) 2.34 [1.03-5.30], p = .042) was a risk factor for developing peristomal infection. T-fastener migration occurred in 17.3% of children, and we found underlying neurological disease was a protective factor (OR 0.59 [0.37-0.92], p = .019). Conclusion: B-PEG is a safe method and associated with a low rate of local infection. However, T-fasteners are associated with significant morbidity and require particular attention in young and premature infants. What is Known: • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the preferred method to provide long-term enteral nutrition in children to prevent malnutrition. The Pull-PEG method is still the most commonly used with complications , such as stomal infection. Since its description, only a few studies have reported postoperative complications of one-step button PEG (B-PEG). What is New: • T-fastener complications were not rare, and underlying neurologic disease was a protective factor. A very low rate of stomal infection was described, and young age at the time of PEG placement was a risk factor. The B-PEG is a safe method with fewer major complications than P-PEG in children.

Abstract
(1) Background: Prophylactic percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) maintained nutritional status and improved survival of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC). However, the role of PEG in patients’ quality of life (QoL) is still controversial. We aimed to investigate the effect of PEG on the QoL of patients with LA-NPC without progression. (2) Methods: Patients with LA-NPC between 1 June 2010 and 30 June 2014 in Fujian Cancer Hospital were divided into PEG and non-PEG groups. The QoL Questionnaire core 30 (QLQ-C30), incidence of adverse effects, weight, and xerostomia recovery were compared between the two groups of patients without progression as of 30 June 2020. (3) Results: No statistically significant difference in the scores of each QLQ-C30 scale between the two groups (p > 0.05). The incidence of xerostomia was higher in the PEG group than in the non-PEG group (p = 0.044), but the association was not seen after adjusting for gender, age, T, and N stage (OR: 0.902, 95%CI: 0.485−1.680). No significant difference in the incidence of other adverse effects as well as in weight and dry mouth recovery (p > 0.05). (4) Conclusion: PEG seems not to have a detrimental effect on long-term Qol, including the self-reported swallowing function of NPC patients without progressive disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to analyze the evidence regarding the appropriateness of PEG placement in the following clinical situations: short bowel syndrome, head and neck cancer, dementia and palliative use in malignant bowel obstruction. RECENT FINDINGS Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes are placed for a variety of clinical indications by numerous different specialties. First described in 1980, PEG tubes are now the dominant method of enteral access. Typically, PEG tubes are technically feasible procedures that can come with significant risk for both minor and major complications. Therefore, it is important to perform an in-depth, patient specific risk-benefit analysis when considering insertion. By analyzing the current evidence regarding benefits in these situations, superimposed by the lens of biomedical ethics, we make recommendations that are accessible to any provider who may be a consultant or proceduralist, helping to provide informed care that is in the patient's best interest.

Abstract
Intraduodenal infusion of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube with jejunal extension is a treatment option to reduce motor and nonmotor complications in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease when oral therapy no longer provides sufficient benefit. Medication management is of central focus; however, there was no standardized patient education on stoma-site care and tube maintenance, leading to the development of stoma-site complications. As a quality improvement (QI) initiative, a standardized education and assessment pathway was developed and implemented in an urban academic outpatient clinic to enhance patient self-management and reduce stoma-site complications. A retrospective chart review was conducted to establish baseline incidence of cutaneous stoma-site complications. QI interventions were implemented using a rapid-cycle improvement model. Routine stoma assessments by a nurse who specializes in wound, ostomy, and continence care were implemented at set points, and patient education on PEG tube care and maintenance was reinforced at each session. Results demonstrated a significant reduction in moderate-to-severe tube and stoma-site-related complication. Implementation of a similar standardized education and assessment pathway in patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes may lead to a decrease in stoma-site-related complications and overall better patient self-management.

Abstract
AIMS Technique-related factors, patient-related factors, and localization determine the risk for complications in percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement. The objective of this study was to identify patient characteristics and ultrasonographic parameters after PEG tube placement concerning localization, which correlate with complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients undergoing PEG-tube placement were examined by abdominal ultrasound after dismissal from the endoscopic recovery room. Patient demographics, PEG characteristics, ultrasonographic parameters and complications were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Of 64 enrolled patients, 59.4% were male and the mean age was 62.3 years. A significant negative correlation between complications at PEG placement and Body-Mass-Index (BMI; kg/m2) was observed (Spearman's Rho: -0.382; p=0.002). A low BMI <18 tended to be more frequent in the group with complication-related PEG removal compared to patients without (18.2% vs. 1.9%). Further descriptive analysis revealed that 4 patients (36.4% of N=11) with and 5 patients (9.4% of N=53) without PEG removal due to complications already had complications at the time of PEG placement. Of the patients with complications during follow-up, those with a peritoneal course (N=10) in ultrasound tended to have a lower BMI (mean ± standard deviation: 22.5±6.5 vs. 26.8±5.9) compared to those without (N=5). In all 4 patients with a triad of follow-up complications, peritoneal course, and complications at PEG placement, the tube was removed due to complications. CONCLUSIONS Post-PEG-placement ultrasonography can help to determine complications in specific procedure-related conditions. A low BMI was found to be a relevant predictor of PEG-related complications, substantiating the need for early intervention in potentially PEG-relevant indications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) may be a feasible and useful alternative in patients with malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). To date, the risk factors for adverse events (AEs) and long-term outcomes of EUS-HGS have not been fully explored according to stent type. Therefore, we evaluated potential risk factors for AEs and long-term outcomes of EUS-HGS. METHODS In total, 120 patients who underwent EUS-HGS were retrospectively reviewed. A multivariate analysis through Cox proportional hazard and logistic regression model was used to identify the risk factors for stent dysfunction and AEs, respectively. Stent patency and patient survival were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier plots with a log-rank test for each stent. RESULTS The technical and clinical success rates were 96.2% (102/106) and 83.0% (88/106). The median duration of stent patency was longer in self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) compared to plastic stents (PS) (158 vs. 108 days). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the type of stent was not associated with stent patency (Hazard ratios [HR] 0.997, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.525-1.896]) or overall survival. In addition, multivariate analysis indicated that hilar MBO significantly associated with stent dysfunction (HR, 2.340; 95% CI, 1.028-5.326, p = 0.043) and late AEs. CONCLUSIONS Given the lower incidence of AEs and better long-term outcomes of EUS-HGS, it can be considered a safe alternative to ERCP or percutaneous approaches regardless of which stent is used. Furthermore, hilar MBO was established as a potential risk factor for stent dysfunction and late AEs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) often experience feeding intolerance due to aspiration, inability to tolerate feed volume, or reflux within the first few months of life, requiring a surgically placed gastrostomy tube (GT) for durable enteral access. However, complications such as GT dislodgement, cellulitis, and leakage related to GT use are common. GT-related complications can lead to unscheduled pediatric surgery clinic or emergency room (ER) visits, which can be time consuming for the family and increase overall healthcare costs. We sought to identify factors associated with GT complications within 2 wk after GT surgery and 1-y after discharge home following GT placement in infants with CHD. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database and electronic medical records from a tertiary children's hospital. We identified infants <1 y old underwent CHD surgery followed by GT surgery between September 2013-August 2018. Demographics, pre-operative feeding regimen, comorbidities, and GT-related utilization were measured. Postoperative GT complications (e.g., GT cellulitis, leakage, dislodgement, obstruction, and granulation tissue) within 2 wk after the GT surgery and an unplanned pediatric surgery clinic or ER visit within 1-y after discharge home were captured. Bivariate comparisons and multivariable logistic regression evaluated factors associated with GT complications and unplanned clinic or ER visits. A Kaplan-Meier failure curve examined the timing of ER/clinic visits. RESULTS Of 152 infants who underwent CHD then GT surgeries, 66% (N = 101) had postoperative GT complications. Overall, 83 unscheduled clinic visits were identified after discharge, with 37% (N = 31) due to concerns about granulation tissue. Of 137 ER visits, 48% (N = 66) were due to accidental GT dislodgement. Infants who were hospitalized for ≥2 wk after GT surgery had more complications than those discharged home within 2 wk of the GT surgery (40.6% versus 15.7%, P = 0.002). Infants receiving oral nutrition before CHD surgery (38.6% versus 60%, P=<0.001) or with single ventricle defects (19.8% versus 37.3%, P = 0.02) had fewer GT complications. After adjusting for type of cardiac anomaly, infants receiving oral nutrition prior to CHD surgery had a decreased likelihood of GT complications (odds ratio OR 0.46; 95% confidence intervals CI:0.23-0.93). A Kaplan-Meier failure curve demonstrated that 50% of the cohort experienced a complication leading to an unscheduled ER/clinic visit within 6 mo after discharge. CONCLUSIONS Unplanned visits to the ER or pediatric surgery clinic occur frequently for infants with CHD requiring a surgically placed GT. Oral feedings before cardiac surgery associated with fewer GT complications. Prolonged hospitalization associated with more GT complications. Optimizing outpatient care and family education regarding GT maintenance may reduce unscheduled visits for this high-risk, device-dependent infant population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) procedures have been gradually established; nonetheless, some adverse events (AEs) have been reported. Dilation procedures using a non-cautery or cautery device increase the incidence of AEs in EUS-HGS. AIMS We evaluated EUS-HGS procedures without dilation and the factors associated with dilation. METHODS We enrolled 79 patients who underwent EUS-HGS between July 2015 and March 2021 at two centers, 72 of whom had technical success (72/79, 91%). During the EUS-HGS procedures, we defined patients without dilation procedures as the dilation (-) group. We divided the patients into two groups: the dilation (+) (35 patients) and dilation (-) (37 patients) groups. We performed a propensity score matching analysis to adjust for confounding bias between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with dilation. RESULTS There was no difference in clinical success rate between the dilation (+) and dilation (-) groups (91% vs. 95%, P = 0.545). The AE rate (P = 0.013) and long procedure time (P = 0.017) were significantly higher in the dilation (+) group than in the dilation (-) group before and after propensity score matching. Factors associated with dilation were plastic stent placement (odds ratio [OR], 6.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.68-28.7; P = 0.007) and puncture angle of ≤ 90° (OR, 44.6; 95% CI, 5.1-390; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A dilation procedure in EUS-HGS may not always be necessary. However, patients with an angle of ≤ 90° between the needle and intrahepatic biliary tract or plastic stent deployment require dilation procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy (PEG) tubes are commonly used to administer enteral nutrition during head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment. However, the benefits of placing a prophylactic feeding tube (PFT; prior to radiotherapy [RT]) or reactive feeding tube (RFT, after RT initiation) are unclear. We sought to compare survival, body mass trends, and hospitalization rates between strategies. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 11,473 Veterans with stages III-IVC HNC treated with chemoradiotherapy. Patients with PEG tube placement within 30 days prior to treatment initiation (PFT) were compared to all other patients (non-PFT) or patients with PEG tube placement within 3 months after treatment initiation placement (RFT). We compared survival, longitudinal body mass changes, and hospitalization rates for PFT versus non-PFT or RFT patients in propensity score (PS)-matched Cox regression models. RESULTS 3,186 (28 %) patients received PFT and 8,287 (72 %) were non-PFT, of which 1,874 (23 %) received RFT. After PS-matching, there were no significant differences in overall survival (HR 0.97, 95 % CI 0.92-1.02), HNC-specific survival (HR 0.98, 95 % CI 0.92-1.09), change in BMI (p = 0.24), or hospitalization rates between PFT and non-PFT groups. Significant differences in hospitalization rates between PFT and RFT groups persisted after PS-matching (-0.11 hospitalizations/month), but no differences were found for other outcomes. CONCLUSION Timing of PEG tube placement in Veterans with HNC was not associated with any significant survival or body mass advantage. However, patients who received PFT had a lower hospitalization rate than those who received RFT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to describe and compare the complications associated with different percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG) techniques. METHODS A retrospective and prospective observational study was conducted. Patients who underwent a PRG between 1995-2020 were included. TECHNIQUES A pigtail catheter was used until 2003, a balloon catheter without pexy was used between 2003-2009 and a balloon catheter with gastropexy was used between 2015-2021. For the comparison of proportions, X2 tests or Fisher's test were used when necessary. Univariate analysis was performed to study the risk factors for PRG-associated complications. RESULTS n = 330 (pigtail = 114, balloon-type without pexy = 28, balloon-type with pexy = 188). The most frequent indication was head and neck cancer. The number of patients with complications was 44 (38.5%), 11 (39.2%) and 54 (28,7%), respectively. There were seven (25%) cases of peritonitis in the balloon-type without-pexy group and 1 (0.5%) in the balloon-type with-pexy group, the latter being the only patient who died in the total number of patients (0.3%). Two (1%) patients of the balloon-type with-pexy group presented with gastrocolic fistula. The rest of the complications were minor. CONCLUSIONS The most frequent complications associated with the administration of enteral nutrition through PRG were minor and the implementation of the balloon-type technique with pexy has led to a decrease in them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with push technique (PEG-T) is increasingly used in pediatric patients. In a retrospective study of PEG-T (cohort 1) we reported frequent complications related to T-fasteners and tube dislodgment. The aim of this study was to assess complications after implementation of a strict treatment protocol, and to compare these with the previous retrospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study is a prospective study of PEG-T placement performed between 2017 and 2020 (cohort 2) in pediatric patients (0-18 years). Complications were recorded during hospital stay, fourteen days and three months postoperatively, graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification and categorized as early (<30 days) or late (>30 days). RESULTS In total 82 patients were included, of which 52 (60%) had neurologic impairments. Median age and weight were 2.0 years [6 months-18.1 years] and 13.4 kg [3.5-51.5 kg], respectively. There was a significant reduction in median operating time from 28 min [10-65 min] in cohort 1 to 15 min [6-35 min] in cohort 2 (p<0.001), number of patients with early tube dislodgement (cohort 1: 9 (10%) vs cohort 2: 1 (1%), p = 0.012), and number of patients with late migrated T-fasteners (cohort 1: 11 (13%) vs cohort 2: 1 (1%), p = 0.004). CONCLUSION We experienced less migrated T-fasteners and tube dislodgment after implementation of strict treatment protocol. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Treatment study level III.

Abstract
PURPOSE Buried bumper syndrome (BBS) is a severe complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) resulting from overgrowth of gastric mucosa and penetration of the inner holding plate into the gastric wall. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of transabdominal ultrasound (US) in comparison to an artificial intelligence (AI) model for the diagnosis of BBS in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this monocentric retrospective study, pediatric US data concerning BBS from a ten-year period (2009-2019) were analyzed. US findings were compared to a clinical multiparameter-based AI model and reference standard endoscopy. Clinical risk factors for the occurrence of pediatric BBS were determined. RESULTS In n = 121 independent examinations of n = 82 patients, the placement of the inner holding plate of the PEG was assessed by US. In n = 18 cases BBS was confirmed. Recall and precision rates were 100 % for US and 88 % for the AI-based assessment. Risk factors for the occurrence of BBS were mobilization problems of the PEG (rs = 0.66, p < 0.001), secretion/exudation (rs = 0.29, p = 0.002), time between 1st PEG placement and US (rs = 0.38, p < 0.001), and elevated leukocyte count (rs = 0.24, p = 0.016). CONCLUSION Transabdominal US enables correct, rapid, and noninvasive diagnosis of BBS in pediatric patients. Preceding AI models could aid during diagnostic workup. To avoid unnecessary invasive procedures, US could be considered as a primary diagnostic procedure in suspected BBS. .

Abstract
Gastric insufflation for computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous gastrostomy is currently performed via a nasogastric tube or a Chiba needle. However, nasogastric tube placement requires patient pharynx and esophagus, and Chiba needle use is associated with an increased risk of organ damage and prolonged operation time. Herein, we introduce a new method of gastric insufflation via a central venous catheter and explore its safety and efficacy by retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients who underwent percutaneous gastrostomy using this method in our hospital from April 2021 to March 2022. The extracted data included the following: success rate, operation time, gastric insufflation time, radiation dose, postoperative pain score, and complications. We also compared the preoperative levels of several nutritional indicators (body mass index, hemoglobin, albumin, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen) with those obtained 1 month postoperatively. A total of 12 patients underwent percutaneous gastrostomy under CT guidance using central venous catheter gastric insufflation. The surgery and gastric insufflation success rates were 100% both. The average operation time, gastric insufflation time, and effective radiation dose were 24.08 ± 5.25 min, 5.08 ± 2.50 min, and 14.16 ± 3.63 mSv, respectively. Based on the World Health Organization scale for pain assessment, five patients reported no postoperative pain and seven patients had mild pain. There were no serious complications, such as stoma infection, peritonitis, gastrointestinal perforation and bleeding, or embedding syndrome. All evaluated nutritional indicators showed improvement at 1 month postoperatively, with statistically significant differences compared to the preoperative values (p < 0.05 for all). In conclusion, CT-guided percutaneous gastrostomy with central venous catheter gastric insufflation is a safe, effective, and feasible minimally invasive treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enteral access is required for a variety of reasons from neuromuscular disorders to dysphagia. Gastrostomy tubes (GTs) can be placed endoscopically, surgically, or radiographically and complications include infection, bleeding, leakage and unintentional removal. Routine post-procedural follow-up is limited by inconsistent guidelines and management by different specialty teams. We established a dedicated GT clinic to provide continuity of care and prophylactic GT exchange. We hypothesized that patients followed in the GT clinic would have reduced Emergency Department (ED) utilization. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent GT placement from January 2010 to January 2020 was conducted. Baseline demographics, indications for GT placement, number and reason for ED visits and utilization of a multidisciplinary GT clinic were studied. RESULTS A total of 97 patients were included. The most common indication for placement was dysphagia (88, 91%) and the most common primary diagnosis was head and neck malignancy (51, 51%). The GT clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic staffed by surgeons and residents, dieticians, and wound care specialists and cared for 16 patients in this study. Three patients (19%) in the GT clinic group required ED visits compared to 44 (54%) in the standard of care (SOC) group (p < 0.05). There was an average of 0.9 ED visits per patient (range 0-7) in the GT clinic group vs 1.6 ED visits per patient (range 0-20) in the SOC group (p = 0.34). Feeding tubes were prophylactically exchanged an average of 7 times per patient in the GT clinic group vs 3 times per patient in the SOC group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION A multidisciplinary clinic dedicated to GT care limits ED visits for associated complications by more than 50%. Follow-up in a dedicated clinic with prophylactic tube exchange decreases ED visits and should be considered at facilities that care for patients with GTs.

PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of General Surgery, Karatay University and Medipol University, Turkey, from January 2014 to December 2020. METHODOLOGY Patients' age, gender, primary diseases, PEG indications, morbidity, mortality, and complications were recorded by performing the PEG procedure. Hospitalisation, follow-up periods of the patients, and the re-insertion of PEG were evaluated. RESULTS The most common indication for PEG tube insertion was nutritional disorder associated with cerebrovascular diseases in 81 (37%) patients. No mortality was perceived due to the PEG tube insertion. However, mortality was observed in 84 (38.4%) patients in the first six months, in 6 (2.7%) patients between the sixth and twelfth month, and in 8 (3.7%) patients after the twelfth month. All these mortalities were attributed to the primary disease. In the early and late periods, complications were observed in the total of 45 (20.4%) patients. Among them, 17 (7.7%) patients experienced early period complications, whereas 28 (12.7%) patients experienced late period complications. CONCLUSION Enteral nutrition should be preferred in order to avoid complications of parenteral nutrition in the patients who need long-term nutrition. In enteral nutrition, PEG should be preferred to surgical gastrostomy because it has less morbidity and mortality, can be done at the bedside and outpatiently when necessary, does not require general anesthesia, and is cheaper and practical. KEY WORDS Gastrostomy, Percutaneous Endoscopic gastrostomy, Enteral nutrition, PEG complications.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is the clinical characterisation of patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), who were indicated for the placement of a gastrostomy tube (G-Tube) in the period 2007-2017 in the Complejo Asistencial Universitario de Salamanca, and to find possible associated prognostic factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS It is a descriptive study of clinical cases. RESULTS Between 2007 and 2017, 139 cases of ALS were assessed and a G-Tube was indicated in 29 of them. Of these 29, on two occasions it was not performed, one due to the patient refusing and the other because of clinical deterioration. Of the total number of G-Tubes, 21 were placed by endoscopy, four by interventional radiology and two by surgery. The main indications were: in 10 cases, for severe dysphagia; in eight cases, for weight loss >10%; and in nine cases, for reduced forced vital capacity <50%. Immediate complications (first 24 hours) included: two intraprocedural desaturations, one ostomy infection, one abdominal pain, one paralytic ileus and one respiratory failure resulting in death. Late complications (first month) include pneumonia, intestinal ischaemia, cellulitis and poor control of secretions. The main cause of death was respiratory failure. The median time elapsed between G-Tube placement and death was 7.89 months. An improvement in analytical nutritional parameters was observed, without showing statistical significance, as a prognostic factor. CONCLUSION G-Tube placement is an effective and safe procedure to ensure enteral nutrition in ALS patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a useful intervention for patients with impaired swallowing and a functional gastrointestinal system. Neurological diseases that cause neuromotor dysphagia, brain tumors, and cerebrovascular disease are the most frequent indications; complications are rare, and morbidity and mortality rates are low. OBJECTIVE To describe the usefulness of PEG in patients with neurological diseases, and its impact on care, survival, and costs and benefits. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective observational study, reviewing clinical files of patients hospitalised at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery (years 2015-2017) who underwent PEG placement. RESULTS The sample included 51 patients: 62.7% were women and the mean (SD) age was 54.4 (18.6) years (range, 18-86). Diagnosis was tumor in 37.3% of cases and cerebrovascular disease in 33.3%. Sixteen patients (33.3%) died and 11 presented minor complications. The PEG tube remained in place for a mean of 9.14 months; in 52.9% of patients it was removed due to lack of improvement and/or tolerated oral intake, with removal occurring after a mean of 5.1 (4.4) months. Among patients' family members, 78.4% reported a great benefit, 43.1% reported difficulty caring for the PEG, and 45.1% reported complicated care in general. The monthly cost of maintaining the PEG was €175.78 on average (range, 38.38-293.45). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study reveals that PEG was well indicated in patients with neurological diseases, with survival rates similar to those reported in other studies with long follow-up periods. In patients with cerebrovascular disease, the PEG tube remained in place a mean of 9.14 months, during recovery of swallowing function; however, the cost is high for our population.

Abstract
Objective: the objective of this study was to demonstrate that implementation of enteral nutrition by gastrostomy tube by the Home Hospitalization Unit (HHU) in patients suffering from neurological diseases, significantly improves their nutritional status, both in terms of anthropometric and analytical parameters. Methods: data on admissions, days of hospital stay, emergency room visits and nutritional parameters were collected during the 6 months before and 6 months after placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube in 100 patients from the UHD at General University Hospital in Elda (Alicante). Results: a total of 100 neurological patients were included in the study; 58 % of them were women and with a mean age (standard deviation, SD) of 78.3 (13.3) years, with 60 % of the patients being > 80 years. The monitoring and home treatment of these patients by the HHU of General University Hospital in Elda led to improvement in quality of life and nutritional parameters (weight, body mass index, proteins, albumin, prealbumin, creatinine, and hemoglobin), as well as a decrease in the number of complications derived from the nutritional management of patients at their home, and a significant reduction in number of admissions (90.27 %) and days of hospital stay (94.05 %), as well as of visits to emergency services (79.47 %), with a consequent reduction in healthcare costs. Conclusions: the implementation of a home-based monitoring program for patients with PEG by a HHU improves their nutritional status and reduces healthcare costs.

Abstract
Tube feeding (TF) is commonly used for patients with severe swallowing disturbance, and patients with chronic dysphagia are often provided with a long-term nasogastric tube (NGT). However, nationwide epidemiological data on long-term NGT placement are limited. The present study identified the prevalence and outcomes of patients with long-term NGT placement in Taiwan. Data were obtained from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database. Patients with NGT placement for more than 3 months between 2000 and 2012 were enrolled in this cohort study. An NGT cohort of 2754 patients was compared with 11,016 controls matched for age, sex, residential area, and comorbidities. The prevalence rate of long-term NGT reached 0.063% in 2005 and then remained stable at 0.05-0.06%. The major causes of NGT placement were stroke (44%), cancer (16%), head injury (14%), and dementia (12%). Men (63%) were more likely to have long-term NGT placement than women (37%). The adjusted hazard ratios were 28.1 (95% CI = 26.0, 30.3) for acute and chronic respiratory infections; 26.8 (95% CI = 24.1, 29.8) for pneumonia, 8.84 (95% CI = 7.87, 9.93) for diseases of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum; and 7.5 (95% CI = 14.7, 20.8) for mortality. Patients with NGT placement for more than 6 months had a higher odds ratio (1.58, 95% CI = 1.13, 2.20) of pneumonia than those with NGT placement for less than 6 months. Only 13% and 0.62% of the patients underwent rehabilitation therapy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, respectively. Long-term NGT use was associated with a higher risk of comorbidities and mortality. Stroke was the main illness contributing to long-term NGT use. Further interventions are necessary to improve the negative effects of long-term TF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes are removed and/or replaced for reasons such as tube malfunction, degradation, patient's device preference, and when stopping enteral feeding. AIMS To identify the types and rate of complications associated with traction removal of a PEG tube and if this is associated with the size of the PEG or length of time it had been in situ prior to removal. METHODS This retrospective study looked at the tube removal/replacement reports written by the Enteral Feeding Nursing Service over an 8-year period at a large teaching hospital trust in the north of England. FINDINGS The PEG tube removal reports of 127 patients were reviewed. Five types of complication were identified, categorised as retained bumper (5.5%); intraperitoneal placement of new device (3.17%); misplacement of replacement device into colon (a consequence of the insertion procedure not the removal of the PEG) (0.78%): gastrocutaneous fistula (0.78%); and inability to remove the tube (1.57%). The complication of retained bumpers was associated with an average length of time in situ prior to removal of the PEG tube of 29 months. In the cases of intraperitoneal placement, the PEG tube had been in situ for an average of 6 months. Nurses were unable to remove the PEG tube on two occasions; each had been in situ for approximately 4 years prior to attempted removal. CONCLUSION the complication rates are low following removal of a PEG tube using a traction pull. There was no clear correlation between length of time in situ or tube size and complication rate.

Abstract
An 86-year-old man was diagnosed with bulbar type of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He underwent a bumper-tube type of gastrostomy due to dysphagia 16 months after the onset of ALS. Twenty months after the onset, he developed dyspnea due to anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a gastric ulcer contralateral to the gastrostomy site with bumper indentation from the gastrostomy tube. Patients with ALS might develop gastric ulceration due to mechanical stimulation with a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube.

Abstract
Patients with advanced intra-abdominal malignancy frequently experience nausea and vomiting, however these symptoms can be difficult to manage. A woman in her seventies with high grade primary peritoneal adenocarcinoma developed intermittent small bowel obstruction following extensive surgery. Poor relief was provided by pharmacological approaches and nasogastric tube insertion. Further surgical management was deemed unsuitable due to the significant possibility of complications and likely impairment of the patient's quality of life. A conservative approach was used by using a novel therapeutic intervention: an endoscope was used to visualise an enterocutaneous fistula tract proximal to the obstruction and a gastrostomy catheter was fluoroscopically inserted. This maintained fistula tract patency, permitting drainage of bowel contents and therefore resolving the patient's symptoms. We therefore describe a novel therapeutic approach where endoscopic insertion of a gastrostomy catheter maintained patency of an enterocutaneous fistula, enabling lasting relief of bowel obstruction in a manner acceptable to the patient.

Abstract
Digestive and nutritional problems of children with cerebral palsy put them at risk of malnutrition. Identification of these problems through measurements of weight, height, and body composition is essential. Feeding difficulties may be caused by a combination of oral and digestive problems, such as swallowing difficulties, gastroesophageal reflux, and constipation. If oral feeding is difficult or unsafe, a nasogastric tube or gastrostomy may be necessary. Once the feeding regimen has been established, energy needs must be assessed on an individual basis. This nutritional management involves a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals, the child, and the family.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is a highly effective treatment option for morbid obesity. Short- and long-term effects of bariatric surgery are not limited to weight loss but include resolution of type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, improvement of cardiovascular health, and overall mortality. The long life expectancy of patients undergoing bariatric procedures means many of these patients will succumb to other diseases. Altered GI anatomy after bariatric procedures could prove an obstacle in treatment. We present our management of one such occurrence. The patient, who had 5 years previously undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, presented after a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage which resulted in spastic tetraplegia. He was unable to consume food and was at risk of malnutrition. A decision was made to laparoscopically create a percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) into the excluded stomach, allowing for the use of standard feeding formula and avoiding the need for parenteral nutrition and prolonged hospitalization due to metabolic complications. The growing number of patients following bariatric procedures directs the need for novelty treatment options suited to the altered anatomy and physiology of the patient post-bariatric surgery. Prompt evaluation of long-term complications after cardiovascular events in patients operated with bariatric surgical technics reduced nutritional complications, rated hospital stay, and improved quality of life. In those patients who, due to the localization of the brain defect, are expected to be unable to feed independently due to the consequences of the latter and have either long-term or lifelong feeding through feeding tubes, it is necessary to establish an enteral feeding pathway through which the patient can receive a standard nutritional formula. This prevents the patient from developing metabolic complications and related complications. At the same time, we enable inpatient accommodation without the risk of dietary complications associated with bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Dysphagia and progressive swallowing problems due to motoneuron death is one of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) symptoms. Malnutrition and body weight loss result in immunological disturbances, fatigability and increase risk of secondary complications in ALS patients, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube (PEG) placement representing a well-recognized method for malnutrition correction and potentially increasing life expectancy. However, despite nutritional correction, occasional rapid neurological deterioration may develop after PEG placement. We have hypothesized that this decline can be a result of exteroceptive stress during PEG placement and promote neurodegeneration in ALS patients. Intravenous sedation may decrease stress during invasive procedures and it is safe during PEG placement in ALS patients. The aim of the study was comparing different PEG placement protocols of anesthesia (local anesthesia or local anesthesia plus intravenous sedation) in ALS from perspectives of stress load and neurological deterioration profile. During 1.5 years 94 ALS patients were admitted; gastrostomy was performed in 79 patients. After screening according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 30 patients were included in the prospective consecutive study. All patients were divided in two groups, with local anesthesia and with combination of local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. Routine biochemical indices, neurodegeneration and stress markers were measured. The age of ALS patients was 61 ± 10 years; 20 patients were included at stage 4A and 10 at stage 4B (King's College staging). PEG was placed at average14 months after the diagnosis and 2.2 years after first symptoms. Mean ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised was 27.8, mean forced vital capacity of lung 46.3% (19-91%). After one year of observation only 8 patients survived. Mean life duration after PEG was 5 months (5 days-20 months). Comparison of two PEG placement protocols did not reveal differences in survival time, stress load and inflammation level. Higher saliva cortisol levels, serum cortisol, glucose, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 were detected after PEG placement, confirming considerable stress response. PEG is a stressful factor for ALS patients, PEG placement representing a natural model of exteroceptive stress. Stress response was detected as increased cortisol, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and glucose levels. Intravenous sedation did not increase the risk of PEG placement procedure, however, sedation protocol did not affect stress load.

Abstract
Background: There are few nationwide studies comparing outcomes of open, laparoscopic (LAP), and percutaneous endoscopic (PEG) gastrostomy tube (GT) placement in the pediatric population. Materials and Methods: The Nationwide Readmissions Database from 2010 to 2014 was used to identify patients ≤18 years (excluding newborns) who underwent GT placement. Demographics, hospital characteristics, and outcomes were compared by the GT approach. Results: There were 3278 patients (41% female, age 3 ± 5 years) identified who underwent GT placement (40% open versus 32% PEG versus 28% LAP). Following an open approach, there were higher rates of GT-related complications (10% versus 4% LAP versus 3% PEG) and postoperative gastrointestinal issues (24% versus 12% LAP versus 9% PEG) on index hospitalization, both P < .001. Readmission within 30 days and 1 year were 18% and 43%, respectively. Overall readmission rates were not affected by the GT approach (44% open versus 44% LAP versus 43% PEG, P = .773). However, readmission for GT-related complications was the lowest following the LAP approach (<0.3% versus 2% open versus 2% PEG, P < .001). When those who also underwent fundoplication were excluded, conversion to gastrojejunostomy or jejunostomy (GJ/J) on readmission was higher following open and PEG approaches (4% open versus 2% PEG versus 0% LAP, P = .039). Conclusions: Compared with PEG gastrostomy and open gastrostomy, LAP GT placement appears to have lower index complications and reoperation rates, and at least comparable readmission outcomes. Despite these advantages, LAP GT placement remains underutilized.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The laparoscopic-assisted gastrostomy tube placement (LAP) has increasingly become the preferred method for placing gastrostomy tubes in infants and children. The goal of this retrospective review was to examine our institutional experiences with our transition from the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) procedure to LAP technique. METHODS All patients undergoing primary PEG or LAP gastrostomy at Boston Children's Hospital between January 2010 and June 2015 were identified. The primary aim was to compare complication rates within the first 6 months after tube placement; differences in total hospital procedural costs, hospital resource utilization, and postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease were examined. RESULTS Nine hundred and eighty-seven patients (442 PEG and 545 LAP gastrostomy tubes) were included. No differences in total complications within 6 months were seen. Patients undergoing PEG placement had more gastrostomy-related complications (PEG 30 [6.7%] vs LAP 13 [2.4%], P = 0.0007) and cellulitis (PEG 23 [5.1%] vs LAP 2 [0.4%], P = 0.03) within the first week of placement. Patients undergoing LAP procedures had more granulation tissue episodes (PEG 19 [4.4%] vs LAP 107 [19.8%], P = 0.005). No differences in emergency room visits, hospital readmissions, or postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease were seen, although transition to a gastrojejunal tube was higher in patients undergoing LAP procedure (PEG 20 patients [4.6%] vs LAP 51 patients [9.5%], P = 0.0008). CONCLUSIONS Total complications were similar between patients undergoing PEG versus LAP gastrostomy tube placement. Patients with the PEG procedure had more complications within the first week of placement versus patients with the LAP procedure had more granulation skin complications.

Abstract
Buried bumper syndrome (BBS) is a rare and serious complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement. In the literature, BBS is considered to be a late complication of PEG procedure, but it may occur in the early period after PEG tube placement. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are important. Different treatment modalities may be used to treat BBS. The aim of this study was to evaluate patients with BBS. During a time frame between January 2015 and February 2020, a hospital medical database was screened for PEG placement and BBS. Buried bumper syndrome was found in 36 patients. Demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients were retrospectively investigated. Those who developed BBS in the first month were evaluated as early BBS. Those who developed BBS after more than a month were evaluated as late BBS. The median BBS development time was 135.9 ± 208.1 days (9-834 days). In 18 (50%) patients, BBS developed within the first month. Serious complications such as abscess and peritonitis were observed in 8 (22.2%) patients on admission. Thirty-two (88.9%) of 36 patients were treated with external traction and four patients were treated with surgery. No complications were observed in patients who were treated with traction. Five patients died, of whom three of them died because of BBS complications, whereas two of them died from other causes unrelated to BBS. Buried bumper syndrome is a complication that can be seen in the early period after gastrostomy. External traction is a reliable method for treating these patients. Proper education of patients' relatives and caregivers is very important to prevent BBS and related complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) is a common inpatient procedure. Prior data from National Inpatient Sample (NIS) in 2006 reported a mortality rate of 10.8% and recommended more careful selection of PEG candidates. This study assessed for improvement in the last 10 years in mortality rate and complications for hospitalized patients. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis of all adult inpatients in the NIS from 2006 to 2016 undergoing PEG placement compared demographics and indication for PEG placement per ICD coding. Survey-based means and proportions were compared to 2006, and rates of change in mortality and complication rates were trended from 2006 through 2016 and compared with linear regression. Multivariable survey-adjusted logistic regression was used to determine predictors of mortality and complications in the 2016 sample. RESULTS A total of 155,550 patients underwent PEG placement in 2016, compared with 174,228 in 2006. Mortality decreased from 10.8 to 6.6% without decreased comorbidities (p < 0.001). This trend was gradual and persistent over 10 years in contrast to a stable overall inpatient mortality rate (p = 0.113). Stroke remained the most common indication (29.7%). The majority of patients (64.6%) had Medicare. Indications for placement were stable. Complication rates were stable from 2006 (4.4%) to 2016 (5.1%) (p = 0.201). CONCLUSIONS Inpatient PEG placement remains common. Despite similar patient characteristics, mortality has decreased by approximately 40% over the last 10 years without a decrease in complications likely reflecting improved patient selection.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The main purpose is to compare the efficacy of cystogastrostomy (CG) and Roux-en-Y-type cystojejunostomy (RCJ) in the treatment of pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC), and to explore the risk factors of recurrence and complications after internal drainage.Two hundred eight patients undergoing either CG or RCJ for PPC Between January 1, 2013and February 1, 2019, at West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospectively analyzed. The cure rate, complication rate and related factors were compared between the 2 groups.Two hundred eight patients with PPC underwent either a CG (n = 119) or RCJ (n = 89). The median follow-up time was 42.7 months. Between the 2 cohorts, there were no significant differences in cure rate, reoperation rate, and mortality (all P > .05). The operative time, estimated intraoperative blood loss, install the number of drainage tubes and total expenses in CG group were lower than those in RCJ group (all P < .05). The Logistic regression analysis showed that over twice of pancreatitis' occurrence was were independent risk factor for recurrence after internal drainage of PPC (OR 2.760, 95% CI 1.006∼7.571, P = .049). Short course of pancreatitis (OR 0.922, 95% CI 0.855∼0.994, P = .035), and RCJ (OR 2.319, 95% CI 1.033∼5.204, P = .041) were independent risk factors for complications after internal drainage of PPC.Both CG and RCJ are safe and effective surgical methods for treating PPC. There were no significant differences in cure rate, reoperation rate, and mortality between the 2 groups, while the CG group had a short operation time, less intraoperative bleeding and less cost.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is required for Levodopa/Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (LCIG) delivery in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) as well as for enteral feeding in a variety of neurological disorders. Buried Bumper Syndrome (BBS) is a serious complication of PEG. The frequency of BBS in patients receiving LCIG treatment has never been reported. OBJECTIVES To compare the frequency of BBS in patients on LCIG treatment or on enteral feeding over the past 12 years and identify possible risk factors. METHODS We reviewed prospectively recorded data from 2009 to 2020 on two case-series: LCIG-treated PD patients and non-PD patients on enteral nutrition. We identified all BBS incidences. Patients' characteristics, clinical manifestations, BBS management, possible risk factors and outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS During the 12 years, 35 PD patients underwent PEG insertion for LCIG infusion, and 123 non-PD patients for nutritional support. There were eight cases of BBS in six PD patients (17.1%). Six of them were effectively managed without treatment discontinuation. Of the enteral feeding patients, only one developed BBS (0.8%) (p < 0.001). We identified inappropriate PEG site aftercare, weight gain, early onset PD, longer survival, treatment duration, dementia and PEG system design as potential risk factors for BBS development. CONCLUSIONS BBS occurs more frequently in LCIG patients than in patients receiving enteral feeding. If detected early, it can be successfully managed, and serious sequalae or treatment discontinuation can be avoided. Regular endoscopic follow-up visits of LCIG-treated patients and increased awareness in patients and clinicians are recommended.

Abstract
AIMS The ORal anticoagulants In fraGile patients with percutAneous endoscopic gastrostoMy and atrIal fibrillation (ORIGAMI) study investigates the safety and efficacy of Edoxaban administered via PEG in patients with atrial fibrillation and a clinical indication for a long-term anticoagulation. DESIGN In this prospective, single-centre observational study, 12 PEG-treated patients with indication to anticoagulation will receive edoxaban via PEG and will be followed up to 6 months. Plasma antifactor Xa activity and edoxaban concentrations will be assessed. Thromboembolic (ischaemic stroke, systemic embolism, venous thromboembolism) and bleeding events (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) will be recorded at 1 and 6 months. PRELIMINARY RESULTS A retrospective analysis of five atrial fibrillation cases undergoing PEG implantation at our Institution who received edoxaban via PEG showed plasma anti-FXa levels at a steady state of 146 ± 15 ng/ml, without major adverse event at a mean follow-up of 6 months. CONCLUSION ORIGAMI prospectively investigates PEG-administration of edoxaban in PEG-treated patients requiring long-term anticoagulation. Our preliminary retrospective data support this route of DOAC administration. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER NCT04271293.

Abstract
The buried bumper syndrome (BBS) is a rare complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Hereby the internal PEG bumper is overgrown by hypertrophic gastric mucosa and embedded into the gastric wall. Most often an endoscopic approach to remove the bumper is successful. If not, an operative removal of the plate is necessary. In this paper, we present a case of a patient in whom a BBS was diagnosed. Besides the therapeutic options to treat a BBS, in this paper we want to focus on the prevention of this complication. Consideration needs to be given as to how long after the procedure should it be loosened to prevent BBS. The distance a PEG tube is advanced and whether it should be rotated is crucial in order to prevent BBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral nutrition plays a central role in managing necrotizing pancreatitis (NP). Although the nasojejunal (NJ) route is widely used, percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG-J) is an alternative technique that is also applied commonly. We hypothesized that NJ and PEG-J had similar morbidity in the setting of NP. METHODS All patients receiving preoperative enteral nutrition before surgical debridement for NP (2005-2015) were segregated into NJ or PEG-J. RESULTS A total of 242 patients had complete data for analysis (155 men/87 women; median age 54 years; 47% biliary and 16% alcohol-related pancreatitis). NJ was used exclusively in 187 patients (77%); 25 patients (10%) were fed exclusively by PEG-J; the remaining 30 patients (13%) had NJ first, followed by PEG-J. Equal proportions of NJ and PEG-J patients reached enteral feeding goal (67% vs. 68%, p ≈ 1) and increased serum albumin (39% vs. 36%, p = 0.87). No difference was seen in rate of pancreatic necrosis infection (NJ 53% vs. PEG-J 49%, p = 0.64). NJ patients had significantly more complications compared to PEG-J (51%vs.27%,p = 0.0015). However, NJ patients had more grade I/II complication, compared to PEG-J patients, who had more grade III/IV complication (Grade I/II: NJ 51%vs. PEG-J 16%; Grade III/IV NJ 0%vs. PEG-J 11%, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION In necrotizing pancreatitis, NJ and PEG-J both delivered enteral nutrition effectively. Patients with NJ feeding had significantly more complications than those with PEG-J; however, NJ complications were less severe.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ED visits for gastrostomy tube-related complications are common, and many are related to tube displacement. Evidence-based practices can provide standardized care. METHODS This study was an evidence-based project to develop and implement an algorithm for the care of patients with a displaced gastrostomy tube in the emergency department. Providers were educated on the algorithm, and clinical practice change was evaluated. Provider knowledge was assessed using pretest and posttest; analyses included paired t test. Descriptive statistics of electronic medical record data on confirmation method, documentation, and referral were reported. RESULTS Provider knowledge was improved after the education (n = 22; t(21) = -3.80; P = 0.001). After the education, procedure notes were used and completed in 95% of the cases. Appropriate use of the confirmation method was present in 95% of the cases, and all cases were referred to the gastrostomy/specialty clinic. DISCUSSION Educating providers regarding care for displaced gastrostomy tubes increased their knowledge. A standardized algorithm improved care by decreasing the use of contrast studies, improving documentation, and referring patients to the gastrostomy/specialty clinic. This evidence-based algorithm offered health care providers a protocol to ensure consistent care for children in the emergency department and support for families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) may exhibit increased metabolic demands, and many will undergo placement of a gastrostomy to achieve adequate nutritional intake. There is a paucity of data, however, comparing the operative risks and overall complications of gastrostomy placement in cyanotic versus acyanotic infants with CHD. We hypothesized that patients with cyanotic CHD would have a higher rate of gastrostomy-associated complications than infants with acyanotic CHD. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent gastrostomy button placement after cardiac surgery for CHD between 2013 and 2018. Patients were stratified into cyanotic CHD and acyanotic CHD cohorts. Patient data were extracted from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database and merged with clinical data related to gastrostomy placement and complications from chart review. Unadjusted analyses were used to find covariates associated with cyanotic CHD and acyanotic CHD, using a t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous data, depending on normalcy, and χ2 or Fisher's exact tests for categorical data depending on the distribution. RESULTS There were 257 infants with CHD who underwent gastrostomy placement during the study period, of which 86 had cyanotic CHD. There were no significant differences in baseline weight or preoperative albumin levels between the two groups. Patients with cyanotic CHD had a lower incidence of comorbid syndromes (P = 0.0001), higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery scores (P < 0.0001), and higher postoperative mortality rate (P = 0.0189). There was a higher rate of granulation tissue formation in patients with acyanotic CHD (48.5% versus 22.1%, P < 0.0001). There were no differences in other gastrostomy button-related complications, including leakage, wound infection, or dislodgement. CONCLUSIONS Patients with acyanotic CHD demonstrated a higher incidence of granulation tissue. We found no difference in gastrostomy-specific complication rates between the two groups, with the notable exception of granulation tissue formation. Based on this study, the diagnosis of cyanotic CHD does not increase the risk of gastrostomy-related complications.
