- Abstract
- Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the most common method of delivering long-term enteral feeding to patients who are unable to take adequate nutrition by mouth. We sometimes encounter patients for whom it is difficult to install the mouthpiece because of limitations of their mouth opening, such as in patients with neuromuscular disorders. In such cases we had tried transnasal insertion of the PEG, nasogastric feeding, or laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. However, transoral insertion of PEG has many advantages over the other procedures. For that reason, we tested the feasibility of using a 10-cc syringe instead of a conventional mouthpiece during PEG in patients with limited mouth opening.
