Safety and Outcomes of Endoscopic and Radiologic Guided Placement of Percutaneous Gastrostomy Tube
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement is associated with lower risk of gastrostomy malfunctions, infections, and overall GI bleeding compared with radiological-guided gastrostomy placement, highlighting superior safety outcomes. When feasible and expertise is available, endoscopic approach should be used as the primary method for gastrostomy tube placement.
