ABSTRACT: Introduction. Data in the literature demonstrate the advantages of enteral feeding vs. parenteral feeding. Mini-invasive gastrostomy, first described in 1980, seems easier to perform and has fewer complications than surgical gastrostomy. This study aimed to describe our experience with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in critical patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).
