Laparoscopic feeding gastrostomy placement is a surgical operation that allows the feeding of malnourished patients through a tube that is placed in the gastric lumen. The benefits of an improved nutritional status in terms of improving clinical outcomes are well documented in the literature and consist in a reduction of the complication rates of the surgical patients, the length of hospital stay, the readmission rates, and a reduction of the cost of health services by reducing the morbidity or mortality. We present a totally laparoscopic technique of feeding tube placement.
