Abstract
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is widely employed in the management of patients with inability to swallow and is occasionally utilized for gastrointestinal decompression. Since its original description [4], multiple variations on the technique have been introduced, including catheter placement without endoscopic assistance. Although generally applicable to adults and older chilren, not all of the presently available PEG techniques or catheter designs are suitable or safe for younger children. This communication focuses on the finer points of the procedure based on an 11-year experience.
