Surgical feeding gastrostomy (FG) is still done for inoperable carcinoma esophagus, corrosive poisoning for enteral feeding. Conventionally a Malecot's catheter or G-tube are used for FG. The Malecot" tube frequently gets frequently blocked. Commercial G-tubes are expensive and not easily available. As an alternative we used cuffed endotracheal tube which is self-retaining and has got a wide diameter throughout and an opening near the tip both of which make it unlikely to get blocked. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 42 cases of ca esophagus/ corrosive injury needed FG in two years period. Of which in 23 cases we used endotracheal tube. All the patients are evaluated for quantity and quality of feed that can be given, peristomal pain, peritubal leakage and infection, slipping of tube, and tube blockage. RESULTS: In all patients in whom ET tube was used quality and quantity of feeds were more, no slipping of tube and no blockage. In three cases there was minimal leakage which reduced in three days. Peritubal pain due stiffness of tube could be overcome by immersing in boiled saline. Overall patient satisfaction is good which made us to recommend as an economical alternative to costly commercial G-tube.
