ABSTRACT
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) was performed in 33 patient with head injury, one with laryngeal cancer, and one with gastric volvulus. The gastrostomy tube was prepared from 20 F Foley catheter and a plastic micropipette tip. The complications encountered included peritubal leak in three patients (9%) and abdominal wall hematoma in one patient (3%). There was no procedure-related mortality. We recommend PEG for tube enteral feeding in patients who have lost the swallowing reflex.
