PEG Tube Placement

PEG Tube Placement for Long-Term Nutritional Support

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, or PEG tube placement, is a procedure used to provide direct nutritional access to the stomach for patients who cannot maintain adequate oral intake. At Emirates European Hospital, PEG tube placement in Sharjah is offered for selected patients who require long-term enteral feeding support because of swallowing difficulty, neurological conditions, prolonged poor intake, or other medical reasons.

The procedure is performed endoscopically with careful patient assessment and planning. Our team focuses on safe placement, appropriate follow-up, and coordination of care to support nutritional management after the procedure. PEG feeding can play an important role in improving nutritional support and maintaining ongoing care in suitable cases.
