Abstract

Background: This study investigates the feasibility of performing a subsequent laparoscopic antireflux procedure after former placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG).

Methods: Between 1997 and 1998, five patients with a gastrostomy in place presented with an indication for laparoscopic antireflux procedure due to persisting vomiting.

Results: All patients were managed laparoscopically with a four-trocar technique.

Conclusions: Primary PEG placement has no adverse effects on a later secondary antireflux procedure. In some cases, four rather than five trocars can be used.
