    Notes: Summary Patients who have previously undergone percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) with subsequent PEG removal occasionally require elective repeat PEG. Adhesion of the stomach to the abdominal wall after the original PEG allows repeat PEG to be performed as an outpatient procedure and full-volume tube feeding to be started immediately. Elective repeat PEG was performed in ten patients. Repeat PEG was performed at the site of the original PEG in all cases. Six of the ten repeat PEGs were performed as an outpatient procedure. No complications were attributed to repeat PEG, and full-volume tube feedings were tolerated in all cases when attempted. To obviate the need for repeat PEG, we recommend immediate replacement after inadvertent PEG removal and avoiding elective removal of PEGs used in patients with long-term neurologic impairment for at least 6 months.

    Notes: Summary Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has had a significant impact on enteral alimentation in patients unable to maintain adequate oral caloric intake. PEG avoids the morbidity and mortality associated with the traditional feeding gastrostomies placed by celiotomy. Several authors have documented benign, self-limiting pneumoperitoneum following PEG placement. No study has addressed whether the timing of panendoscopy in relation to gastric puncture has an effect on the incidence of post-PEG pneumoperitoneum. The authors prospectively studied 30 patients undergoing PEG. Panendoscopy was either performed before or after gastric puncture, and each patient then had abdominal radiographs to determine the presence of pneumoperitoneum. Four of 16 patients (25%) having panendoscopy prior to gastric puncture had radiographic evidence of pneumoperitoneum compared to three of 14 patients (23%) having panendoscopy following gastric puncture. The authors conclude that the timing of panendoscopy in relation to gastric puncture does not significantly effect the incidence of post-PEG pneumoperitoneum.
