“…[1], [16] Additionally some groups advocate the use of overtubes to further reduce PEG site infection. [23] In this study preoperative antibiotics and overtubes were not routinely used, and we believe the low infection rate was directly related to avoidance of transoral passage of the tube; making this a safer and more cost effective technique for placing PEG tubes in this population.…”

“…Cleansing and disinfection of the mouth and pharynx together with antibiotic prophylaxis decreases the risk. One can also use two tricks to avoid this complication: (1) Leave an overtube placed in the first pass of the endoscope, so during the implant maneuvers, when the probe is pulled, contact with the oropharynx is avoided [20]. (2) The use of the Russell method.…”

“…Als typische und häufigste Komplikationen der Fadendurchzugstechnik gelten Lokalinfekte, die im Wesentlichen auf eine iatrogene Keimverschleppung aus der Mundhöhle durch die Sondenplatzierung zurückgeführt werden. Einige Autoren empfahlen daher die Nutzung eines "overtube" [40]. Eine seltene, in der Literatur aber zunehmend häufiger beschriebene Nebenwirkung ist das Auftreten von Implantationsmetastasen aufgrund von iatrogener Tumorzellverschleppung [1,5,11,27,37,43,44].…”
