title: [The Janeway laparoscopic gastrostomy in palliative surgery].
abstract: For the creation of a gastrostomy percutaneous endoscopic technique should be the method of first choice. If impossible a laparoscopic procedure should be preferred to a conventional one. Laparoscopic Janeway-gastrostomy might have some advantages compared to Kader-Stamm-Fistulas. We present the results with this method which we have used since 1993 in 12 patients. The postoperative course of these patients with mainly malignant diseases of ENT (n = 4), esophagus (n = 3) and thyroid gland (n = 3) as well as two non-malignant underlying diseases is presented and discussed in the light of recent publications. The Janeway-gastrostomy is an effective, easily feasable and safe procedure that ensures a good palliation also due to easy handling and care.
