Methods: A retrospective and prospective observational study was conducted. Patients who underwent a PRG between 1995\u20132020 were included. Techniques: A pigtail catheter was used until 2003, a balloon catheter without pexy was used between 2003\u20132009 and a balloon catheter with gastropexy was used between 2015\u20132021. For the comparison of proportions, X2 tests or Fisher\u2019s test were used when necessary. Univariate analysis was performed to study the risk factors for PRG-associated complications. Results: n = 330 (pigtail = 114, balloon-type without pexy = 28, balloon-type with pexy = 188). The most frequent indication was head and neck cancer. The number of patients with complications was 44 (38.5%), 11 (39.2%) and 54 (28,7%), respectively. There were seven (25%) cases of peritonitis in the balloon-type without-pexy group and 1 (0.5%) in the balloon-type with-pexy group, the latter being the only patient who died in the total number of patients (0.3%). Two (1%) patients of the balloon-type with-pexy group presented with gastrocolic fistula. The rest of the complications were minor. Conclusions: The most frequent complications associated with the administration of enteral nutrition through PRG were minor and the implementation of the balloon-type technique with pexy has led to a decrease in them.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14224838","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]],"date-time":"2022-11-16T02:33:48Z","timestamp":1668566028000},"page":"4838","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Percutaneous Radiology Gastrostomy (PRG)-Associated Complications at a Tertiary Hospital over the Last 25 Years"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7834-1145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Pi\u00f1ar-Guti\u00e9rrez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Serrano-Aguayo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Silvia","family":"Garc\u00eda-Rey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roc\u00edo","family":"V\u00e1zquez-Guti\u00e9rrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Irene","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dolores","family":"Tatay-Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Garrancho-Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4551-8159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pablo J.","family":"Rem\u00f3n-Ruiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2878-4017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio J.","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Ortega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ver\u00f3nica","family":"Nacarino-Mej\u00edas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Radiolog\u00eda, Unidad de Radiolog\u00eda Intervencionista, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"Iglesias-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Radiolog\u00eda, Unidad de Radiolog\u00eda Intervencionista, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8455-9765","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"Pereira-Cunill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro Pablo","family":"Garc\u00eda-Luna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UGC Endocrinolog\u00eda y Nutrici\u00f3n, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"872","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(80)80296-X","article-title":"Gastrostomy without Laparotomy: A Percutaneous Endoscopic Technique","volume":"15","author":"Gauderer","year":"1980","journal-title":"J.
