Kadera Gastrostomy

Kadera gastrostomy

Cadera gastrostomy is one of the most important achievements in the field of surgery. This method was developed by the Polish surgeon Kader in the 19th century and is still used in medicine.

Gastrostomy is a surgical procedure in which a special feeding tube called a gastrostomy is inserted into the patient's anterior abdominal wall. It can provide nutrition to patients who cannot eat by mouth due to various diseases, such as cancer of the esophagus or stomach, or after surgery on the esophagus or stomach.

Kader was the first to propose the use of gastrostomy to treat cancer of the esophagus and stomach. He developed a special instrument that allowed a tube to be inserted into the esophagus and stomach without the need to make a large incision in the abdomen. This significantly reduced the risk of complications and accelerated the healing process.

Since then, the Kader method has been improved and used throughout the world. Today, gastrostomy is used to treat many nutrition-related diseases, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, pancreatitis, Crohn's disease, and for the rehabilitation of patients after gastric and esophageal surgery.

However, although gastrostomy is considered a safe procedure, it still has its risks and complications. Some patients may experience discomfort and pain around the gastrostomy tube and may be at risk for infection or bleeding. Therefore, before surgery, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient’s condition and select the most appropriate treatment method.

Overall, gastrostomy is an important step in the development of medicine, which allows patients to be able to eat and live a full life. However, like any other operation, it requires careful preparation and a professional approach on the part of doctors.
