From May 1997 to May 2005, we performed 302 PEG insertions successfully in 310 attempts (97.4% success rate) using modified Ponsky's pull method with 24-Fr feeding tubes. All the patients received PEG for tube feeding except for two patients with cancerous peritonitis for decompression. The underlying diseases in these 308 patients who received PEG for tube feeding were 161 cerebrovascular accidents (52.3%), 62 head and neck cancers (20.1%), 21 cases of Parkinsonism (6.8%), and others. There were 11 major complications (3.6%) and 57 minor complications (18.9% ). Ten patients (3.3%) died within 30 days after PEG insertion. However, no procedure-related mortality occurred . In conclusion, PEG is an effective method for tube feeding and drainage with a high success rate. PEG insertion was often indicated for patients with dysphagia caused by cerebrovascular accident, head and neck cancer, and Parkinsonism in Taiwan. It is a relatively safe procedure, with a 3.6% rate of major complications and 18.9% rate of minor complications. |
