Laparoscopic Stamm gastrostomy with gastropexy.
Recent technologic advances in video equipment and instruments have enabled therapeutic gastrointestinal operations to be performed laparoscopically. Using these advances and laparoscopic techniques, we have performed a Stamm gastrostomy with gastropexy by using the laparoscope in a single patient. The technique, indication, and considerations are discussed herein.
