Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a medical procedure used to place a feeding tube directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. This is typically done for patients who cannot eat by mouth due to various conditions, such as stroke, cancer, or neurological disorders. The procedure is performed using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera, which allows doctors to see inside the stomach and guide the placement of the tube. The PEG tube provides a way to deliver nutrition, fluids, and medications directly to the stomach, ensuring that patients receive the necessary support for their health. The procedure is generally safe and can be done under local anesthesia, allowing for a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
