10 years ago, 50-60% of children who had creation of a gastrostomy underwent percutaneous endoscopically guided (PEG) gastrostomy placement. Nowadays, laparoscopic primary g-button placement has largely supplanted PEG placement, due to fewer major post-operative complications. Unfortunately, complications do still persist with the g-button placement, which include pain and discomfort, leakage, infection, granulation tissue formation, and accidental dislodgement. While the exact causes for the symptoms vary, it is theorized that lack of g-button stability is a primary factor. When a g-button is exposed to external forces (clothes catching, accidental hand-swipe etc.) and human-related forces (twisting of the abdomen, skin folding, coughing etc.), there is shearing between the g-button and the skin and the windening of the stoma. We believe that inhibiting the movement of the g-button, relative to the surrounding skin, will reduce the chances of accidental dislodgement and lessen stress on the stoma, so that the gastrostomy tract can heal faster, reducing the risk of post-operative complications.
