    Notes: Abstract Background: Intraluminal gastric surgery provides a new treatment option for various disease processes. This study assesses the safety of a new large-diameter percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for intraluminal surgery. Methods: Investigators at six institutions were asked to complete a standard questionnaire to assess the difficulties associated with the assembly and introduction of the PEG, plus intraoperative and postoperative problems related to placement of the device. Results: In terms of assembly; 1.9% of respondents reported difficulty obtaining complete vacuum of the balloon tip, and 3.8% had difficulty fitting the graduated dilator to the balloon-tipped cannula. Difficulties associated with introduction of the PEG included disengagement of the dilator from the balloon-tipped cannula (0%), extraction of the dilator-port assembly (0%), difficult PEG pullout (1.9%), abdominal wall bleeding (0%), and difficult PEG dilator separation (7.5%). Intraoperatively, 7.5% of respondents reported inadequate skin bolster fitting, 1.9% had CO2 leakage into the peritoneal cavity, 0% had inadvertent PEG extraction, and 0% reported injury to the esophagus, colon, or small intestine. Postoperatively, there was a 9.4% rate of wound infection, a 1.9% rate of gastrocutaneous fistula, and a 1.9% rate of esophageal, colon, or small intestine injury. Conclusions: The large-diameter PEG is safe and effective for endo-organ surgery. Additional preventive measures for PEG site infection should be investigated.

    Notes: Abstract Smaller individual series on the outcome of laparoscopic hernioplasty techniques have been reported. This study reports on the complications of 3,229 laparoscopic hernia repairs performed by the authors in 2,559 patients. The TAPP (transabdominal preperitoneal) technique was the most frequently performed: 1,944 (60%). The totally preperitoneal technique was performed 578 (18%) times. The IPOM (intraperitoneal onlay mesh) repair was performed 345 (11%) times. The plug-and-patch technique was used 286 (9%) times and simple closure of the hernia defect without mesh was used in 76 (2%) repairs. Overall, there were 336 (10%) complications: 17 (0.5%) major and 265 (8%) minor. There were 54 (1.6%) recurrences, with a mean follow-up of 22 months. The TAPP technique had 19 (1%) recurrences and 141 (7%) complications. There were four bowel obstructions in this subgroup from herniation of small bowel through the peritoneal closure and trocar sites. The totally preperitoneal technique had no recurrence and 60 (10%) complications. The IPOM group had 7 (2%) recurrences and 47 (14%) complications. The plug-and-patch technique had 26 (9%) recurrences and 24 (8%) complications. The simple closure of the internal ring had 2 (3%) recurrences and 10 (13%) complications. Laparoscopic hernioplasty is not without complications. Training, experience, and attention to technique will prevent some of these complications.
