AB Gastrostomy  is  commonly  utilized  as  a  temporary  procedure  to  avoid  the  discomfort  of  prolonged  nasogastric  suction  following  such  major  abdominal  procedures  as  vagotomy  and  subtotal  gastrectomy,  colectomy,  and  so  forth.  This  procedure  should  be  considered  during  abdominal  operation  in  those  poor-risk  or  elderly  patients  prone  to  pulmonary  difficulties  or  where  postoperative  nutritional  difficulties  are  anticipated.
