In some diseases, problems such as not being able to swallow, forgetting to swallow, or not being able to perform the swallowing reflex due to unconsciousness may occur. One of the solutions used in these people who have lost their swallowing reflex is a procedure known as Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, or PEG in short. In the PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) insertion procedure, first the patient is anesthetized in the procedure area using local anesthesia. Then, with the endoscope device, a hole will be made in the stomach to connect the anterior abdominal wall to your skin, and a tube will be placed and fixed in the stomach. The location and conditions of the procedure may vary depending on the patient's condition.
