Palliative use of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy tubes
Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am.
2007 Oct.
Abstract
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes are most commonly placed for feeding purposes with the intention of maintenance or improvement in nutritional status; however, they may also be used in a palliative role in patients who have terminal illnesses for feeding or decompression. Percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy (PEC) tubes can be used to decompress malignant and functional bowel disorders with accepted morbidity and mortality. This article reviews the use of PEG and PEC tubes for palliative use.
