Summary

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy/jejunostomy (PEG/PEGJ) effectively manages postoperative complications like gastric fistulas and anastomotic leaks. Intraoperative X-ray guidance for PEG placement is a novel and useful technique for long-term enteral feeding and decompression.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Postoperative complications can necessitate specialized interventions for nutritional support and symptom management.
  • Enteral feeding and decompression are critical for patient recovery following abdominal surgery.

Observation:

  • Two patients with postoperative complications, including external gastric fistula and anastomotic leakage, were treated with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy/jejunostomy (PEG/PEGJ).
  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement was guided by intraoperative X-ray examination, a method not previously documented.

Findings:

  • PEG/PEGJ procedures were successfully employed for long-lasting enteral feeding and decompression in both cases.
  • The use of intraoperative X-ray for PEG localization proved effective in this patient cohort.

Implications:

  • PEG/PEGJ are valuable and expedient procedures for managing early postoperative complications.
  • Intraoperative X-ray guidance for PEG placement represents a potentially significant advancement in procedural accuracy and safety.
