ABSTRACT
This study shows that, in our environment, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is feasible in most patients who need it, and at the same time it is a fast, safe and inexpensive procedure. The complication rate is low and most can be resolved rapidly medically or endoscopically. It also allows the placement of a permanent means for the administration of nutrients and for drainage of gastroduodenal secretions in those patients who warrant it
