What is
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastronomy (PEG)?
Percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy, commonly known as PEG or feeding tube insertion, involves placing a tube directly into the stomach. This enables direct delivery of nutrition, fluids, and medication, bypassing the mouth and esophagus. PEG is advantageous when swallowing is problematic or oral intake of nutrients is insufficient. If you seek information on PEG in Texas, consult an experienced gastroenterologist. Reach out to Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates for a consultation to gain further insight into this procedure.

Feeding Tube Insertion (PEG)
Who is Eligible for Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastronomy (PEG)?
Candidates for PEG, or feeding tube insertion, typically include individuals who cannot adequately consume nutrition through the mouth, often due to swallowing difficulties. The duration of feeding tube necessity varies, from short-term to lifelong, depending on the underlying condition. Regular tube replacement is essential to prevent clogs or wear. Depending on the cause, oral intake might be restricted. Conditions like post-stroke difficulty swallowing could entail oral consumption limitations. Some patients with feeding tubes might still consume food orally. Discuss specifics with your Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates gastroenterologist.

Is the feeding tube insertion (PEG) procedure secure?
Feeding tube insertion, known as PEG, is frequently executed. Yet, akin to any medical method, it carries certain risks. Potential hazards encompass discomfort surrounding the tube insertion site, shifting of the feeding tube, and bleeding. Communicate with your gastroenterologist to address inquiries or apprehensions, particularly risks that might be more pertinent to your circumstances. Prior to undergoing the feeding tube placement, it’s vital to thoroughly deliberate over all conceivable risks and benefits associated with this therapy alongside your gastrointestinal specialist in Texas.
