Abstract
|
|
|
Percutaneous endoscopic gastromy (PEG) and percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) are used commonly for enteral feeding. But there were some reports of using PEG as an alternative to naso-gastrointestinal tube for decompression in parients
with
mechanical obstruction, particularly obstraction with malignancies involving the upper gastrointesrinal tract. Palliation is usually achieved by the placement of a nasogastric or nasointestinal tube. Hower these tubes tend to have some
disadvantages
which can be overcome with drainage PEG. In our experience, a 65 years old male patient with pyloric obstruction due to advanced gastric cancer was successfly decompressed by drainage PEG. Thus, we present this case with supporting literatures.
