Abstract

Gastrostomy Placement in Children has advanced much in recent years. We have experience in standard techniques of open and percutaneous endoscopic Gastrostomy placement and continue to expand our surgical portfolio to include minimally invasive techniques for gastrostomy placement. Over the past 2 years our department has placed 49 new gastrostomy devices, (Age: Median 2.6 years, Range 0-18) for a wide range of diagnoses. In this chapter we chart the history of the Gastrostomy in children, indications and methods for placement including an overview of more recent techniques, their risks and benefits.
