Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a safe and effective method for enteral alimentation when oral feeding is not possible. This procedure offers a less invasive, lower-risk alternative to surgical gastrostomy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Enteral alimentation is crucial for patients unable to feed orally.
  • Traditional surgical gastrostomy carries significant risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the outcomes of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG).
  • To evaluate PEG as an alternative to surgical gastrostomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 25 patients undergoing PEG.
  • Procedure performed for enteral alimentation.

Main Results:

  • Successful PEG in 30 instances.
  • Low incidence of major complications.
  • Demonstrated lower morbidity and mortality compared to surgical gastrostomy.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a simple and cost-effective procedure.
  • PEG is a viable alternative to surgical gastrostomy with reduced risks.
