title: Laparoscopic Stamm gastrostomy with gastropexy.
abstract: 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.
