What is a PEG Tube?

A Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube is a flexible feeding tube that is placed through the abdominal wall into the stomach. This minimally invasive procedure is performed using an endoscope, allowing for direct access to the stomach for long-term nutritional support. PEG tubes are commonly used when a person is unable to eat by mouth, providing a safe and effective way to maintain adequate nutrition and hydration.

Who Should Consider PEG Tube Placement?
  • Difficulty swallowing or risk of aspiration.
  • Chronic conditions affecting nutrition, such as stroke or neurological disorders.
  • Need for long-term nutritional support.
  • Surgical conditions requiring enteral feeding.
  • Consultations with your healthcare provider suggesting PEG tube benefits.
