Objective: The
aim of this study was to evaluate success and complication rates of percutaneous
radiological gastrostomy (PRG).
Method: The
patients who had PRG in our interventional radiology unit between June 2012 and
December 2018 were included in the study. Patients’ procedure reports and
images were evaluated retrospectively. Patients’ age, gender, diagnosis,
technical success and rate of complications of the procedure were the research
parameters.
Results: A total of 23 patients were
referred for PRG. (mean age 63.1 years range: 20-90 years) Indications for PRG
were head- neck cancer, other cancers, stroke and other neurologic disorders in
9 (39.2%), 6 (26.1%), 5 (21.7%) and 3 (13%) patients, respectively. 4 patients
had replacement with a new gastrostomy catheter and 19 patients had PRG for the
first time. In the present study technical success rate was 100%. In 5 patients
minor complications were occured in 30-day follow up (21.7%). 3 patient died
due to other comorbidities. There were no major complications.
Conclusions: PRG is a
practical and safe procedure with a high success and low complication rates in
patients with a need of enteral feeding.
