Title:Safety of pull-type and introducer percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy
tubes in oncology patients: a retrospective analysis
Version: 2Date:31 January 2011
Reviewer: Shinji Nishiwaki
Reviewer's report:
I would like to appreciate for your revision to clarify the problems in the first draft.
In Japan, the introducer was modified recently and is now shifting from the
conventional pull/push method. But I’m afraid that the method might be
sometimes risky if the technique is not inadequate and lead to serious
complication including perforation and hemorrhage. I believe this paper will
provide new evidence in the field of enteral feeding for the patients with
head/neck and esophageal cancer.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests.
