Safe, Long-Term Nutritional Support for Patients in Need
When patients are unable to consume adequate nutrition orally due to neurological disorders, cancer, or prolonged critical illness, establishing reliable enteral feeding access becomes essential. Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) and Nasojejunal (NJ) tube placements provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive solutions for long-term nutritional support. Our center offers expert endoscopic placement of PEG and NJ tubes to ensure accurate positioning, reduced complications, and improved patient outcomes.
Adequate nutrition is critical for:
Enteral feeding preserves gut function and is preferred over intravenous nutrition whenever feasible.
A PEG tube is placed endoscopically to deliver nutrition directly into the stomach, making it ideal for long-term feeding.
PEG feeding is commonly recommended for patients with:
The procedure is minimally invasive, well tolerated, and suitable for prolonged nutritional support.
An NJ tube delivers nutrition directly into the jejunum (small intestine) and is preferred when gastric feeding is not suitable.
NJ feeding is ideal for patients with:
Endoscopic placement ensures accurate tube positioning, improves feeding tolerance, and reduces complications.
If oral intake is inadequate or unsafe due to illness or swallowing difficulty, early enteral nutrition can prevent serious complications related to malnutrition.
Proper nutritional support can make a critical difference in recovery and quality of life.
