Abstract

In this Festschrift communication, the author of two novel approaches to long-term enteral access: the gastrostomy without laparotomy (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy or PEG) and the skin-level feeding device (Gastrostomy "Button"), relates the history of these innovations, describes the initial and extended applications, and comments on the implications of these developments.
