Percutaneous transesophageal gastrostomy (PTEG) offers a safe and effective palliative solution for malignant bowel obstruction (MBO). This procedure successfully improved symptoms and quality of life in patients unsuitable for traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Interventional Endoscopy
- Palliative Care
Background:
- Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) significantly impacts patient quality of life.
- Traditional percutaneous gastrostomy may not be suitable for all MBO patients.
- Palliative interventions are crucial for symptom management in advanced cancer.
Conclusions:
- PTEG is a safe and effective palliative option for MBO patients with contraindications to standard gastrostomy.
- PTEG improves quality of life by effectively managing symptoms.
