title: [Laparoscopic Kader fistula].
abstract: A laparoscopic modification of a gastrostomy by a catheter following the method first described by Kader is presented. Characteristic features are large luminal catheters being introduced into the stomach over a guide-wire and a special trocar under laparoscopic control. The gastric wall is additionally attached to the abdominal wall by laparoscopically applied sutures. Advantages and disadvantages of the presented method are compared and discussed to alternative and established procedures.
