Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG)

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) in Indore

पर्क्यूटेनियस एंडोस्कोपिक गैस्ट्रोस्टॉमी — PEG tube placement — is a specialized endoscopic procedure in which a feeding tube is inserted directly into the stomach through a small opening in the abdomen wall. It is recommended for patients who are unable to swallow or consume adequate nutrition orally due to a medical condition — जो मरीज़ मुंह से खाना नहीं खा सकते, उनके लिए यह प्रक्रिया पोषण सुनिश्चित करती है। PEG tube placement provides a safe, reliable, and long-term nutritional support solution without the discomfort of a nasal feeding tube.

When is PEG Tube Placement Recommended

• Neurological conditions such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease affecting swallowing
• Head, neck, or esophageal cancer causing difficulty in eating
• Severe swallowing disorders — निगलने में असमर्थता
• Prolonged unconsciousness or critical illness requiring nutritional support
• Certain neurodegenerative conditions affecting the ability to eat independently

The Procedure

PEG is performed under sedation and local anesthesia ensuring patient comfort throughout — मरीज़ को दर्द या तकलीफ नहीं होती। An endoscope is passed through the mouth into the stomach, and under its guidance, a small incision is made in the abdomen to place the feeding tube securely into the stomach. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically completed within thirty minutes, and does not require open surgery — बिना बड़े ऑपरेशन के पोषण नली लगाई जाती है। Caregivers are guided on tube feeding and maintenance before the patient is discharged.
