Introduction: Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is one of the preferred methods for providing
enteral feeding to patients whose oral intake nutrition is not feasible. There is limited evidence regarding post-
PEG survival. Our primary objective is to evaluate long-term survival and identify main ...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is an important option for enteral nutrition for both children and adults.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Patients that underwent Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) present with protein-energy malnutrition. Trace elements are required in small quantities and Chromium (Cr) displays a major role in the metabolism. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate Cr levels and its relationship...
Introduction: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a safe and effective endoscopic surgical procedure for enteral access and gastrointestinal decompression, and it is an excellent alternative to surgical gastrostomy. There are various clinical indications and these mainly include the need for pro...
