Strain-Senna-Cadera Gastrostomy

A Senna-Kader gastrostomy is a surgical procedure that places a tube called a gastrostomy in a patient's stomach to facilitate feeding and reduce pain.

Stamma, Senna and Kader were American, Polish and American surgeons respectively who made significant contributions to the development of surgery and medicine in general. In 1906, they developed a new procedure, named after them, that allowed a gastrostomy tube to be inserted into the stomach without cutting the skin. This was a significant advance in the treatment of stomach cancer patients who required feeding tubes.

The Strain-Senna-Cadera procedure includes several stages. The first step is to insert a tube into the stomach through an incision in the skin. The tube is then secured in place using special glue and sutures. After this, a special solution is injected, which helps secure the tube in the stomach.

After a gastrostomy tube is installed, the patient can begin to feed through a tube, which greatly facilitates the feeding process and reduces pain. The Strain-Senna-Kader procedure is safe and effective and is used to treat many patients with stomach cancer.

However, like any other medical procedure, this procedure has its risks and complications. Some of these include infections, bleeding, allergic reactions to glue and sutures, and problems with wound healing. Therefore, before carrying out this procedure, it is necessary to conduct a full examination and consultation with a doctor.
