Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a safe and cost-effective feeding tube procedure for patients unable to swallow. Despite its availability, many medical practitioners remain unaware of this valuable endoscopic intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Surgical Procedures

Context:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has been available for over a decade.
  • Many healthcare providers lack awareness of PEG as a feeding option.
  • PEG offers an alternative to traditional surgical gastrostomy.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the utility and safety of PEG for nutritional support.
  • To inform practitioners about PEG as an accessible procedure.
  • To advocate for PEG as a preferred method over surgical gastrostomy.

Summary:

  • This study details 10 patients who underwent PEG procedures.
  • Only one major, nonfatal complication was recorded, demonstrating a favorable safety profile.
  • PEG is presented as a safe, easy, and economical option for patients with swallowing difficulties.
