A member asked:
Can you give me the pros and cons of a peg feeding tube.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the pt: pros: the patient can utilize their gi tract for food/liquids which is always best. cons: risk of procedure, risk of aspiration. at the end of life, risks often outweigh the benefits. for a young patient undergoing ENT surgery, the risk is minimal compared to the benefit.
