To place a tube directly into the Stomach, the Endoscope
is placed in the stomach while a second physician pushes
on the outer wall of the abdomen. When a suitable
location is found, the skin is sterilized and numbed.
Then a needle is passed through the skin into the inside
of the Stomach. You can see the needle pierce the inner
wall of the Stomach and come towards the Endoscope. |
