Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a safe and effective feeding tube insertion method. Patient selection is crucial, as survival rates vary significantly post-procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a common procedure for nutritional support.
  • Indications for PEG placement include neurologic disorders and malignant diseases.
  • Evaluating the safety and efficacy of PEG is essential for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the success rate and complication profile of PEG procedures.
  • To analyze patient survival outcomes following PEG placement.
  • To evaluate the appropriateness of patient selection for PEG.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 58 patients undergoing PEG from March 1987 to March 1992.
  • Documentation of indications, procedure success, complications, and feeding tube removal.

  • Survival curve analysis to determine patient mortality post-PEG.

    • Main Results:

    • The overall success rate for PEG insertion was 98.3%.
    • Low rates of major (1.7%) and minor (10.5%) complications were observed.
    • Fifty percent of patients died within 3 months of PEG placement, particularly those with non-malignant indications.

    Conclusions:

    • PEG is a technically safe and feasible procedure, even in debilitated patients.
    • Careful patient selection is critical to optimize outcomes and life expectancy after PEG.
    • The study highlights the need for improved criteria in selecting patients for PEG placement.
