409 endoscopic assisted push gastrostomy using gastropexy: an updated comparison to pull percutaneous gastrostomy

Gastrostomy enteral feeding in children has classically been achieved with the pull technique for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement (PEG). PEG placement has traditionally had low complications but requires a second procedure to transition to button gastrostomy. More recently a one-step, endoscopically-placed button gastrostomy with gastropexy has become more popular. This technique utilizes T-fasteners to perform gastropexy while serial dilators allow the low profile button to be placed at the gastropexy site.
