PEG Tube Placements

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) Tube Placement is a minimally invasive procedure designed to provide direct nutritional support to patients who are unable to eat by mouth due to various medical conditions. Performed under sedation using an endoscope, the PEG tube is placed through the abdominal wall directly into the stomach to allow for long-term enteral feeding.

At Ballari Health City, Dr. Mansoor Ali K, a skilled gastroenterologist with extensive experience in therapeutic endoscopy, performs PEG tube placements with precision, care, and a strong focus on patient safety and comfort. The procedure is especially valuable for patients with neurological disorders, stroke, head and neck cancers, or severe swallowing difficulties.

Key Benefits of PEG Tube Placement:

• Maintains optimal nutrition and hydration
• Reduces the risk of aspiration and pneumonia
• Allows for medication administration directly into the stomach
• Improves quality of life for chronically ill or elderly patients

Procedure Overview:
PEG placement is performed under sedation using an endoscope to visualize the stomach. A small incision is made on the abdominal wall, and the feeding tube is guided into the stomach under endoscopic guidance. The entire procedure typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and most patients can be discharged within a day.
