An analysis of the advantages of Stamm and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy

Abstract
The results of 221 Stamm gastrostomies were analyzed in order to compare this technique to the recently reported percutaneous endoscopic technique (PEG). Cited advantages of the PEG technique, including avoidance of general anesthesia, shorter procedure time, safety, bedside convenience and cost savings, are addressed. Several disadvantages and possible hazards of the PEG are identified.
