Novel intragastric trocar placed by PEG technique permits endolumenal use of rigid instruments to simplify complex endoscopic procedures

摘要

Background and Aims: The lack of triangulation has restricted the growth of flexible endoscopic surgical techniques. In addition, endoscope channel size limits the type of tools that can be used. A novel percutaneous intragastric trocar (PIT) has been developed to address these issues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the procedural characteristics of PIT placement and removal, as well as its therapeutic applications.
