Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic procedures
  • Surgical techniques

Context:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a common method for long-term enteral nutrition.
  • Uncertainties persist regarding optimal indications, techniques, and complication management in PEG procedures.
  • Extensive experience with approximately 1000 PEG and 170 EUS-guided pseudocyst drainage (EPJ) procedures informs this review.

Purpose:

  • To discuss current uncertainties in PEG indications, techniques, and complications.
  • To present a modified thread-pull-through technique for enhanced safety and precision.
  • To review alternative methods and patient comfort considerations for PEG.

Summary:

  • This review examines new indications for PEG, including decompression for chronic intestinal obstruction, and discusses relative contraindications like ascites and peritoneal carcinosis.

Related Experiment Videos

  • A modified thread-pull-through technique using endoscopic alligator forceps for intestinal cannula fixation is recommended to improve puncture accuracy and reduce dislocation risk.
  • Key complications such as local infections, implantation metastases, and buried bumper syndrome are highlighted, alongside a discussion of alternative methods and improved patient comfort systems.

    • Impact:

    • Provides evidence-based recommendations for optimizing PEG procedures.
    • Enhances patient safety by detailing techniques to avoid common complications.
    • Offers insights into alternative approaches and patient comfort, potentially improving adherence and outcomes in enteral nutrition.
