Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and jejunostomy (PEJ) probes facilitate enteral feeding and endoscopic procedures. Improved fixation methods can reduce bacterial growth and associated complications for patients requiring nutritional support.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Surgical Procedures

Context:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) are established methods for enteral access.
  • These procedures are vital for patients unable to maintain adequate oral nutrition or with gastrointestinal obstructions.

Purpose:

  • To review the placement techniques, feeding capabilities, and endoscopic applications of PEG and PEJ probes.
  • To discuss methods for optimizing probe fixation to minimize complications.
  • To outline the indications and potential complications associated with these devices.

Summary:

  • PEG and PEJ probes can be placed via pull-through or direct puncture methods, enabling gastric or duodenojejunal feeding.
  • The fistulous tract created by PEG probes can be utilized for percutaneous endoscopy with pediatric endoscopes.

  • Open, well-aired fixation using a ring is recommended over traditional methods to prevent bacterial growth.
  • Indications include prolonged enteral feeding, gastrointestinal decompression, bile instillation, and palliative endoscopic treatments.
  • While complications are rare, aspiration and peritonitis are significant risks.

    • Impact:

    • Optimized fixation techniques for PEG/PEJ probes can enhance patient safety by reducing infection risk.
    • Understanding the diverse applications of PEG/PEJ, including endoscopic access, broadens their clinical utility.
    • This review provides valuable insights for clinicians managing patients requiring long-term enteral nutrition or complex endoscopic interventions.
