“…Gastrointestinal bleeding is an unfortunate drawback of the percutaneous technique and a known lethal complication after PEG [6]. In the literature, the reported 30-day mortality rate ranges from 3.5% to 30% after PEG [3,6,8,17,20,[26][27][28]31], and from 21% to 41% after SG [2,17,19,[29][30][31]. The main reason for the high mortality rate is recognized to be the disabled condition of the patients.…”

“…Egeberg, un cirujano noruego, describió por primera vez la gastrostomía en 1937, la cual se empezó a usar dos años después con el fin de crear un trayecto fistuloso entre la luz gástrica y la pared abdominal para alimentar a los pacientes. Sin embargo, por la alta tasa de complicaciones no se practicaba con frecuencia 6 . En los años setenta, Michael Gauderer, residente de cirugía pediátrica, practicó la primera gastrostomía endoscópica en un paciente pediátrico.…”

“…Cada vez se cuestiona con mayor frecuencia la práctica de la gastrostomía en pacientes que se encuentran en situaciones clínicas limítrofes, en las cuales el beneficio puede ser limitado o nulo [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] ; además, los médicos subvaloran su riesgo general 10,11 y, realmente, no se previenen las complicaciones que se quieren evitar, como malnutrición o neumonía aspirativa, debido a que la alimentación es gástrica y, por lo tanto, está sujeta a la regulación de la fisiología digestiva 6,12 .…”
