Abstract

Objective. To analyze the literature data, summarized together with own experience of the transcutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (TEG) performance.

Маterials and methods. TEG was conducted in 2011 - 2018 yrs to 105 patients in the «Оberig» Clinic. The results, indications, the procedure conduction technique, peculiarities of the patients’ treatment, and complications were analyzed.

Results. The TEG conduction was technically successful in all observations.
