  • Direct gastrostomy tube placement with gastropexy is an easy procedure with several indications.

  • The essential steps involve performing a gastropexy to attach the stomach to the wall and making a hole through the skin and into the stomach to deliver the gastrostomy tube.

  • The procedure requires two needles that are whole, one with a snare and one with a nylon string to perform the gastropexy, as well as a trocar to make the connection between the outside world and the stomach.
