Based on personal experience with 70 cases of temporary tube gastrostomy - used as an alternative procedure to nasogastric suction in 50 cases and as a double-purpose tube in 20 cases of radical esophagectomy - pertinent problems concerning indication, technique, advantages, and possible complications are presented. The results indicate that temporary gastrostomy is a safe procedure, reduces cardiopulmonary disorders, and increases the patient's comfort. The procedure is therefore strongly recommended for patients with poor cardiopulmonary reserve and for the age group above 60 years. Temporary gastrostomy is also indicated in younger patients, if prolonged gastric distension with the necessity of decompression is anticipated.
