    Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (P.E.G.) offers a safe and effective method for gastrostomy feeding in patients without endoscopy contraindications. This technique is feasible in standard endoscopy centers with minimal complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Procedures

    Context:

    • Gastrostomy feeding is crucial for patients unable to maintain adequate oral intake.
    • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (P.E.G.) presents an alternative to surgical gastrostomy.
    • Indications for P.E.G. include neurological deficits and oncological conditions requiring nutritional support.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the technique and outcomes of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (P.E.G.).
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of P.E.G. in a series of patients.
    • To report on complications and modifications of the P.E.G. procedure.

    Summary:

    • P.E.G. was performed in 10 patients with indications including cerebrovascular accidents, neoplasms, and brain trauma.
    • Minor complications included subcutaneous emphysema and a guide thread rupture, which were managed effectively.

  • A self-made device successfully replaced a non-available medicated catheter, demonstrating procedural adaptability.

    • Impact:

    • P.E.G. is a technically straightforward procedure that can be performed in any endoscopy setting.
    • The technique provides a viable solution for long-term enteral nutrition.
    • Successful implementation of P.E.G. can improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
