摘要
A percutaneous technique to place oesophageal feeding tubes in cats is described. Nineteen traumatised cats underwent different surgical procedures for facial and/or oral trauma and subsequent oesophagostomy. The tube placement was easy to perform, requiring a 14G over-the-needle vascular catheter, a curved forceps and a 1.2mm feeding tube. During insertion, the tube was directed aborally (normograde direction) to its definitive position in a one-step procedure. The tube was removed when the patient started to eat voluntarily. A major limit of this technique was represented by the small diameter of the feeding tube, requiring the use of a liquid diet. However, considering the absence of complications, the rapidity of the procedure and its cost efficacy, it was considered as an effective alternative to more complicated and invasive techniques, in particular if a short period of starvation is predictable.
