The number of elderly patients living in institutions is increasing. Many of them are unable to maintain an adequate nutritional status because of: 1) neurologic deficits that preclude normal swallowing; 2) obstruction of the upper gastrointestinal tract; or 3) a systemic disease that has produced profound anorexia. This report presents the data on 106 permanent-feeding gastrostomies, performed with low morbidity and low mortality. Use of a gastrointestinal anastomotic stapling device greatly facilitated the operation. The permanent gastrostomy offers an effective means of providing adequate nutrition for elderly patients who otherwise cannot maintain the necessary nutritional status.
住在养老院的老年患者数量正在增加。他们中的许多人由于以下原因无法维持足够的营养状况：1）神经功能缺损导致正常吞咽困难；2）上消化道梗阻；或3）导致严重厌食的全身性疾病。本报告介绍了106例永久性胃造口术的数据，该手术的发病率和死亡率较低。使用胃肠吻合钉合器械极大地简化了手术过程。永久性胃造口术为那些无法维持必要营养状况的老年患者提供了一种有效的营养供给方式。
