What is Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG)?
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy, commonly referred to as PEG, is a medical procedure used to place a feeding tube directly into the stomach. This procedure is often used in pediatric patients who are unable to eat by mouth due to various medical conditions. The tube provides a way to deliver nutrition, hydration, and medications directly to the stomach, bypassing the need for oral intake.
