摘要：A low profile or skin level gastrostomy device for initial endoscopic placementin an incision provided through the stomach and abdominal walls of a patient has acollapsed resilient end portion packaged and compressed within a shroud that allows theend portion of the device positioned within the stomach to easily pass from the inner tothe outer end of the incision. The shroud is pulled or pushed outwardly through theincision until the device is properly positioned therein. Subsequent to device placement,the shroud is removed and discarded, allowing the now external end portion of thedevice to expand to its normal position so as to engage the outer surface of the

abdominal wall to maintain the device in position. Such a gastrostomy device package andmethod of placement avoid the need for establishing a fistulas stoma tract beforeplacement of a low profile gastrostomy device, as is the usual case.
