T-Fastener Gastropexy and Percutaneous Gastrostomy under CT-Fluoroscopic Guidance in a Patient with Partial Gastrectomy
並列摘要
The real-time images of computed tomography (CT)-fluoroscopy provide an excellent means of guidance for percutaneous interventions. We describe the performance of T-fastener gastropexy and percutaneous gastrostomy under CT-fluoroscopic guidance in a 59-year-old woman who had received total pharyngolaryngectomy for hypopharyngeal cancer and partial gastrectomy with Billroth Ⅱ anastomosis for bleeding gastric ulcer 10 years before this operation. The previous gastric operation altered the gastrointestinal anatomy and made conventional fluoroscopic-guided percutaneous gastrostomy extremely difficult and risky. The T-fastener gastropexy and percutaneous gastrostomy were accomplished smoothly in a single session using CT-fluoroscopic guidance. This modified method of percutaneous gastrostomy may be useful in patients with anatomic distortion due to previous gastric surgery.
