Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) tube is inserted using an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it. The endoscope is passed through the mouth and throat to the stomach, and the PEG tube is then inserted through a small incision made on the skin of the abdomen. This type of feeding tube is often used for long-term enteral feeding in patients who cannot eat or swallow food normally.
