Gastrostomy is a technique commonly used in the field of medical surgery and is mainly used in patients who are unable to eat normally. CT-guided percutaneous gastrostomy is a new and modified minimally invasive technique that allows doctors to perform percutaneous punctures in the patient's stomach and place a fistula tube in the stomach to solve the patient's feeding problem.
CT-guided percutaneous gastrostomy has many advantages.
CT-guided catheterization.
First of all, percutaneous gastrostomy tube can be left in place for a long time, which is convenient for patients to carry out long-term nutritional support and **, in principle, more than one month of enteral nutrition can be considered for percutaneous gastrostomy.
Secondly, it is a minimally invasive procedure under local anesthesia with high safety and very little trauma to the patient, reducing the patient's pain and recovery time.
Thirdly, the surgical method has a wide range of adaptation, even for patients with advanced esophageal cancer who are completely obstructed and cannot be guided by gastroscopy.
Finally, compared to traditional surgical gastrostomy surgery, the cost of feeding tube replacement is also lower.
In conclusion, CT-guided percutaneous gastrostomy is an important medical technique that has important value for patients who are unable to eat normally. With the continuous development and improvement of medical technology, this technology will bring hope and good news to more patients.
