Laparoscopic-Assisted Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Placement
BACKGROUND Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the most common way of placing a feeding tube. Sometimes PEG cannot be used to safely place a feeding tube, most commonly secondary to an inability to transilluminate the abdominal wall. Whereas open gastrostomy was previously necessary in such cases, laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (LAPEG) is a viable option and ...
متن کاملThe Missing Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube
A 73-year-old man was brought to the emergency department (ED) after his caregiver noticed his percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube was missing. It had been placed because of poor oral intake related to dementia. The caregiver stated that she last flushed the tube the day before and that the patient had been eating and drinking without difficulty. The patient was alert but disoriented...
متن کاملStudy of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Outcomes
Background and Objective: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the technique of choice for providing enteral access to patients who require long-term enteral nutrition. This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes and complications of PEG. Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 77 patients (45 men, 32 women; age mean: 58.9±19.7 years, Min: 14 years, Max: 89 Years)...
متن کاملComparing open gastrostomy tube to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube in heart transplant patients.
INTRODUCTION Impaired wound healing due to immunosuppression has led some surgeons to preferentially use open gastrostomy tube (OGT) over percutaneous gastrostomy tube (PEG) in heart transplant patients when long-term enteral access is deemed necessary. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2005-2010) was queried for all heart transplant patients. Those receiving OGT were comp...
متن کاملComparison of open gastrostomy tube to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube in lung transplant patients
INTRODUCTION Lung transplant patients require a high degree of immunosuppression, which can impair wound healing when surgical procedures are required. We hypothesized that because of impaired healing, lung transplant patients requiring gastrostomy tubes would have better outcomes with open gastrostomy tube (OGT) as compared to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube (PEG). METHODS The Natio...
