Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement is a safe and effective method for providing enteral nutrition in patients with swallowing disorders. This procedure showed a high survival rate and minimal complications, establishing it as a gold standard treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery
  • Nutritional Support

Context:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is crucial for patients unable to achieve adequate oral nutrition.
  • Indications include neurological diseases, head and neck cancer, and esophageal cancer.

Purpose:

  • To review the indications, complications, and outcomes of PEG placement.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of PEG procedures.

Summary:

  • A retrospective review of 50 patients undergoing PEG placement from 2003-2005 was conducted.
  • 51 PEGs were placed with no major complications and a 90% 1-year survival rate.
  • Prophylactic antibiotics may reduce perigastrostomy infections.

Impact:
