Aim: In our study, we aimed to present the results of our experiences
and the results we detected in the retrospective examination of patients
undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.
Material and Method: 378 patients in whom percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy
tube were placed at the patient's bedside in Afyon Kocatepe University
of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Department of General Surgery
Endoscopy Unit between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2017 were included in
the study. Patient records were examined by the file scanning methods. The
records were evaluated in terms of demographic information, technical
information, indications, complications and results.
Results: Of a total of 378 patients in whom PEG catheter was placed, 230
(60.9%) were male and 148 (39.1%) were female. The mean age of all patients was
73.4 ± 2 (20-93). While 244 (64.5%) of the patients had swallowing disorder due
to neurological causes, PEG procedure was performed in 98 (26%) due to
swallowing disorder caused by mechanical reasons. In 36 patients (9.5%) PEG
catheter was opened for diversion due to surgical reasons. No procedure-related
mortality or major complication was observed in any patient after the procedure.
The rate of wound infection was determined to be significantly higher in
patients with high subcutaneous adipose tissue when compared to the level at
which the gastrostomy catheter was detected. The risk of complication
development was detected higher in patients over the age of sixty (p = 0.038).
