Specialist in Liver and Gastrointestinal Care, Vamsi Gastro & Liver Care

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a feeding tube directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall.

This procedure is often recommended for patients who are unable to consume food orally due to conditions such as stroke, neurological disorders, head and neck cancers, or other conditions affecting the ability to swallow.

During the procedure, a small incision is made in the abdomen, and an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera) is used to guide the placement of the PEG tube. The tube provides a long-term solution for patients who need nutritional support but cannot eat or drink by mouth.

Dr. D. Venkateswara Raju, MD, DM, the best gastroenterologist in Bhimavaram, located in West Godavari with extensive experience in performing PEG tube placements. He ensures that each procedure is executed safely, with the tube placed correctly to provide patients with the vital nutritional support they need.

This minimally invasive procedure involves only a small incision, significantly reducing the risk of infection and complications compared to traditional surgical methods.

It serves as a long-term solution, providing reliable feeding support for patients with chronic conditions or those recovering from surgery or illness.

The procedure is designed with patient comfort in mind, ensuring that recovery time is typically quick, allowing patients to resume normal activities in a short period.
