경피적내시경위조루술은 해부학적 이상을 동반할 경우 합병증의 발생 위험이 높으며 기술적으로 실패할 수 있다. 저자들은 심한 척추측후만증으로 비정상적인 복강 내 장기의 위치를 가졌고 경피내시경위조루술 이후 결장피부루 발생의 과거력이 있는 환자에서 복강경 유도 경피적내시경위조루술을 통하여 성공적으로 위조루관을 삽입한 예를 보고한다.
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), which was first introduced in 1980, was quickly adopted for use in pediatric and adult patients. However, problems such as severe kyphoscoliosis, interposed organs, or other forms of distorted anatomy, may prevent effective and safe PEG tube placement. In such cases, laparoscopy-assisted PEG (LAPEG) is a useful optional procedure for patients with distorted anatomy and an initial unsuccessful PEG attempt. Furthermore, less invasive measures are preferable over surgical gastrostomy. We present a 27-year-old-male patient with severe kyphoscoliosis and a history of PEG-related complications with a colocutaneous fistula appearing 10 months earlier in whom a feeding tube was successfully placed by LAPEG. There were no LAPEG-related complications in the perioperative period, either technical or metabolic. After discharge, the patient was effectively fed using the bolus method.
