In accordance with a preferred embodiment of this invention, there is provided a percutaneous gastrointestinal tube which may be surgically inserted into the patient's stomach and then threaded downward into the intestine to provide body intestinal stent plication, and independently controllable gastric and/or intestinal decompression. The subject gastrointestinal tube preferably has two decompression lumens and two inflatable cuffs. One decompression lumen extends the full length of the tube and is vented at the distal end to provide decompression to the lower portion of the intestine, the other decompression lumen is vented so as to decompress the stomach. One inflatable cuff is located near the distal end to facilitate the threading of the tube into the small intestine, and the other inflatable cuff is positioned in the stomach at the inner surface of the incision to help seal the incision and to prevent the inadvertent partial withdrawal of the subject tube.
