This 3D medical animation reveals the placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy - PEG, or 'feeding tube' via the 'pull' method, in patients who are unable to take food by mouth. MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: The most commonly used PEG placement procedure is the pull method. During this procedure, your doctor will insert a lighted endoscope through your mouth, and thread it down your esophagus, and into your stomach. A camera attached to the endoscope will produce images of the inside of your stomach, which will be displayed on a video monitor. Next, your doctor will insert a needle through your skin, into your stomach at the location where the PEG tube is to be placed. While doing this, he or she will use the endoscope to locate the end of the needle inside your stomach, and encircle it with a wire snare. Your doctor will then pass a thin wire through this needle into your stomach, attach the endoscope to the wire, and pull both the endoscope and wire out through your mouth. At this point, there will be a thin wire entering the front of your abdomen into your stomach, and continuing upward and out of your mouth. Your doctor will attach the PEG feeding tube to the wire outside of your mouth. By gently tugging on the other end of the wire, he or she will pull the tube back through your mouth and esophagus, and into your stomach. Your doctor will continue to pull until the tip of the tube comes out of the incisions in your stomach and abdomen. A soft, round bumper attached to the portion of the tube that remains inside the stomach secures it in place. The outer portion of the tube will be secured with the bumper as well. And sterile gauze will be placed around the incision site.
