Brief Summary

The application of PEG in geriatric-palliative care has not been well discussed. With the development of endoscopic procedures and PEG devices, we can perform this minimally invasive method more safely, even in challenging cases. We should discuss the indications of PEG in the field of palliative care of geriatric patients. The presented study evaluated geriatric (\> 65-year-old) palliative care patients to whom PEG applied at our institution.

    Evaluation of weight and body mass index changes after Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube application

    30 days
