Figure 1 Schematic drawing of procedure planning for T-fasteners and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy entry sites. T-fasteners are positioned triangularly 1 inch away from each other. The ideal position should be half way between the lesser and greater curvatures. Catheter should enter in the center of the triangle and aim towards the pylorus.
