Seminar on Stamm, Janeway & PE gastrostomy Presenter: Dr Biswajit Deka 1st yr PGT Moderator : Dr S B Choudhury Asstt. Professor Department of surgery,SMCH Indication • Need for feeding • Decompression • Gastric acess Stamm gastrostomy • Temporary procedure • The mid anterior gastric wall is grasped with a Babcock forceps,& the ease with which the gastric wall approximates the overlying peritoneum is tested. • A purse-string suture using nonabsorbable suture is placed in the mid anterior wall of the stomach. • An incision is made in the centre of the purse string at right angles to the long axix of the stomach • It reduces no of arterial bleeders • Incision made with electrocautery,scissors,or knife • A mushroom catheter of avg. 18 to 22F is introduced into the stomach for 10 to 15 cm • A foley type catheter may also be used • The purse string suture is tied • The gastric wall about the tube is then inverted by a 2nd purse-string suture or interupted Lembert’s stiches • The gastric wall should be inverted about the tube to ensure rapid closure of the gastric opening when the catheter is removed • A point is then selected some distance from the margins of the operative incision & the costal margin for the placement of the stab wound & subsequent passage of the tube through the anterior abdominal wall. • The position of the catheter end should be checked • The gastric wall is then anchored to the peritoneum about the tube by 4/5 non absorbable suture • The gastric wall must not be under undue tension at the completion of the procedure • The gastrostomy tube is snugged upward and then secured to the abdominal skin with a non absorbable suture. Stamm Gastrostomy Janeway Gastrostomy • Permanent procedure • The surgeon visualizes the relation of stomach to the anterior abdominal wall & with Allis forceps outlines a rectangular flap. • Its base plcaced near the greater curvature to ensure an adequate blood supply. • The flap is made somewhat larger than would appear to be necessary • The gastric wall is divided between the allis clamps near the lesser curvature & a rectangular flap is developed by extending the incision on either side toward the allis clamp on the greater curvature. • After pulling the flap, the catheter is placed along the inner surface of the flap • The mucous membrane is closed with continuous suture, then submucosa and serosa is closed preferably by interrupted nonabsorbable suture • When this cone shaped entrance to the stomach has been completed about the catheter,the anterior gastric wall is attached to the peritoneum at the suture line with non absorbable suture. • A gastric tube canbe constructed with a stapling instrument. Closure • After the pouch of gastric wall is lifted to the skin surface,the peritonem is closed about the catheter. • The catheter may be brought out through a smal stab wound to the left of the major incision. • The layers of abdominal wall are closed about this and the mucosa is anchored to the skin. • Catheters are anchored to the skin with adhesive tap in addition to a suture that has included a bite in the catheter. Janeway Gastrostomy Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy-PEG Indications: • Need for feeding • Decompression • Gastric acess Contraindications • Inability to pass the endoscope safely • Inability to identify the trans-abdominal lumination of the lighted endoscope tip within the dilated stomach • Ascites • Partially corrected coagulopathy • Intra abdominal infection Pre-operative preparation • NPO • Gastric decompression- nasogastric tube • Single dose i/v antibiotic given 1 hr prior to the procedure – Because the peroral passage of the special catheter may contaminate the abdominal wall tract created as the catheter is brought out through the stomach Anaesthesia • Topical anaesthesia for oropharynx • Local anaesthesia for abdominal site Position : supine on the table with the head slightly elevated. Operative preparation -smallest possible gastroscope used - after the endoscope is passed safely into the stomach,the skin of the abdomen & lower chest is prepared with antiseptic solutions and drapes applied. Procedure • During the placement of the gastroscope any pathology may be evaluated. • Stomach fully inflated with air • This displaces the colon inferiorly & places the anterior gastric wall against the abdominal wall • A suitable zone selected& Endoscopist places the lighted gastroscope end firmly upward at this point – this is usually between the costal margin and the umbilicus • The operating room lights are dimmed & the transilluminated site is identified & marked. • The endoscope is backed away from the anterior gastric wall & the appropriateness of the site is verified as external palpation with a finger indents the chosen area. • LA is injected & a 1cm skin incision is made • The endoscopist visualizes the site as a 16G smoothly tapered iv cannula/needle is introduced into lumen of the stomach. • A long large silk or nylon suture is passed through the hollow outer cannula after withdrawing inner needle • The silk is grasped with a polypectomy snare passed through the endoscope and then all are withdrawn through the patient’s mouth • A de pezzer catheter with the inner crosspiece (a cut section of tubing) or a special PEG catheter is secured to the long suture • The catheter must have a tapered end that will enclose the open end of the de pezzer catheter • The whole assembly is covered with a sterile water soluble lubricant • Gentle, steady traction on the abdominal end of the long suture pulls the tapered end of the assemblt down the esophagus & then through the gastric & abdominal wall • The endoscope is reintroduced and the positioning of the special catheter of crosspiece is verified • An external crosspiece or collar is applied and a non-absorbable suture is used to secure the catheter & crosspiece to the skin without pressure or tension that might necrose the skin • The small skin incision is left open and topical antiseptic may be applied. PEG Post-operative care • The gastrostomy catheter is opened for decompression and gravity drainage for a day • Then feeding may start in a sequencial manner beginning with small ,dilute volumes • The catheter may be changed in a periodic manner or may be converted to a silastic prosthesis after 4 weeks or more when the gastrostomy incision has solidly healed & the stomach has fused to the anterior abdominal wall.This prosthesis is stretched and thinned over an obturator and inserted into the open gastrostomy tract Thank you...
