Therefore,\u0000we describe a new minimally invasive technique as an alternative\u0000to the percutaneous or endoscopic gastrostomy, in\u0000patients where we are not allowed to place a nasogastric tube\u0000to insufflate the stomach. This is mostly seen in patients with\u0000tumors, which cause obstruction.</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>Between July 2012 and June 2013, 8 patients underwent\u0000a single port laparoscopic gastrostomy.
