PEG Feeding Tube
PEG Tube Placement for Long-Term Nutrition
PEG Tube Placement is done for patients who cannot swallow safely due to neurological disorders, stroke, advanced cancers, trauma, or severe malnutrition. It allows long-term feeding directly into the stomach. Dr. Manish C Kak performs PEG placement with precision at Kak Liver and Gut Center, Ghaziabad.
Under sedation, Dr. Kak inserts an endoscope and identifies a safe area on the abdomen. A soft tube is placed directly into the stomach. The procedure takes 15–20 minutes.
PEG is usually a day-care procedure. Elderly or medically fragile patients may need short observation.
Care instructions include keeping the site clean, flushing the tube regularly, and following feeding schedules. Caregivers receive complete training.
In the Ghaziabad and Delhi NCR region, the center is known for safe PEG placements.
