TWO ENDOSCOPIC SUTURING TECHNIQUES FOR THE PREVENTION OF PERCUTANEOUS GASTROJEJUNOSTOMY TUBE RETROGRADE MIGRATION

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses two endoscopic suturing techniques used to prevent retrograde migration of percutaneous gastrojejunal tubes in patients requiring long-term anterior feeding. One technique involves marking and tying an external suture to the portion of the tube expected to be in the stomach, then using endoscopic suturing to fix it to the gastric wall. The second technique involves placing a C-shaped running suture to fix the body of the tube to the anterior gastric wall. The video concludes by stating that endoscopic suturing of PEG-J tubes can successfully prevent retrograde migration, and further research is needed to evaluate its role in fixation.
