ABSTRACT
A patient’s nutritional status is frequently a determining factor for both the patient’s treatment in a healthcare unit setting and their long‑term prognosis. A nutritional therapy is as important for the patient as pharmacology or surgical treatment. The most common indication for providing artificial nutrition is dysphagia. The gold standard for long‑term enteral nutrition is the implementation of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The technical differences between various types of PEG allow to reduce the complication risk related to making a fistula.
