About the Procedure
A PEG tube is a feeding tube placed directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall, guided by an endoscope, for patients who are unable to take adequate nutrition by mouth. The procedure is performed under sedation and provides a safe, long-term route for feeding and medication.
