![]() ![]() All cases were uneventful without intraoperative complications, although one postoperative wound infection occurred in a Lap-PEG case. We compared Lap-PEG ( n = 23) with F-PEG ( n = 6) where the mean ages and weights at surgery and sex ratios were similar. Once repeated, the stomach can be pexied at two points, approximately 2 cm apart. By introducing a loop through the lumen of one needle which allows placement of a suture introduced through the lumen of the other needle. ![]() We started using the “Funada-kit II” (CREATE MEDIC CO., Kanagawa, Japan) device with two parallel needles to puncture the stomach and assist suturing the anterior gastric wall to the anterior abdominal wall during Lap-PEG in 2011 (F-PEG). We aimed at assessing the effect of using a “Funada-kit II” device during laparoscopy-assisted percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (Lap-PEG), by reviewing 29 cases of Lap-PEG we performed from 2001 to 2011. ![]()
