Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy in Indore
Best Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy in Indore
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a minimally invasive procedure used to place a feeding tube directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. Dr. Iqbal Nabi Qureshi specializes in performing PEG procedures, offering nutritional support and improved quality of life for patients who are unable to consume adequate food orally.
Procedure Overview: During a PEG procedure, a flexible endoscope is inserted through the mouth and guided into the stomach. A small incision is made in the abdominal wall, and a feeding tube is inserted through the incision and into the stomach under endoscopic guidance. The feeding tube is then secured in place, allowing for the delivery of nutrition, fluids, and medications directly into the stomach.
Indications for PEG Placement: PEG placement may be indicated for patients who are unable to eat or drink adequately due to conditions such as dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), neurological disorders (such as stroke or Parkinson’s disease), head and neck cancer, severe malnutrition, or other medical conditions that impair oral intake. PEG tubes provide a convenient and effective means of delivering essential nutrients and hydration to patients who cannot consume food orally.
Expertise and Patient Care: With his expertise in gastroenterology and advanced endoscopic techniques, Dr. Qureshi provides compassionate and individualized care for patients undergoing PEG placement. He emphasizes patient education, comfort, and safety throughout the procedure, ensuring that patients and their families feel informed and supported every step of the way.
Follow-Up and Support: Following PEG placement, Dr. Iqbal Nabi Qureshi offers ongoing follow-up care to monitor the function of the feeding tube, assess nutritional status, and address any concerns or complications. He collaborates with dietitians, speech therapists, and other healthcare providers to optimize nutritional support and improve quality of life for patients receiving enteral feeding through PEG tubes.
FAQs
PEG tubes are beneficial for patients who are unable to eat or drink adequately due to conditions such as dysphagia, neurological disorders, head and neck cancer, severe malnutrition, or other medical conditions that impair oral intake. PEG tubes provide a reliable means of delivering essential nutrients, hydration, and medications directly into the stomach, improving nutritional status and overall quality of life.
PEG placement can be temporary or permanent, depending on the patient's underlying condition and treatment goals. Some patients may require enteral feeding through a PEG tube for a short period to support recovery from surgery or illness, while others may rely on long-term enteral feeding for chronic conditions that affect oral intake. Dr. Qureshi works with patients and their healthcare teams to determine the most appropriate duration of PEG tube placement based on individual needs and circumstances.
While PEG placement is generally considered safe, it carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, perforation of the stomach or abdominal organs, tube dislodgement or malfunction, aspiration pneumonia, or complications related to sedation or anesthesia. Dr. Qureshi takes all necessary precautions to minimize risks and ensure patient safety during PEG procedures.
