[High-caloric nutrition in radiochemotherapy, nasogastric tube and parenteral nutrition versus PEG (percutaneous endoscopic controlled gastrostomy)].
The advantages and problems of different types of artificial feeding are discussed. For patients needing long-term nutritional support, we see the following special advantages of PEG: physiological enteral nutrition with an only small risk of tube dislocation, no additional handicap of the natural swallowing procedure and without stigmatizing the patient by an external visible tube (Tab. 3). To help to spread this method of artificial feeding for the benefit of the patient, this article gives some informations on how to cope with the problems that might occur when using PEG (for example: a diet plan for building up the tube food nutrition (Tab. 4).
