Secure nutritional access without endoscopy.
Difficulty swallowing due to stroke, head and neck cancer, or neurological conditions? Radiologically-inserted gastrostomy (RIG) provides direct stomach access for feeding through a small tube placed under imaging guidance.
Understanding PEG Tube Insertion
A PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube or radiologically-inserted gastrostomy (RIG) provides a direct pathway for nutrition and medication delivery into the stomach for patients who cannot safely swallow. This includes patients with stroke, head and neck cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and prolonged ICU stays.
Image-guided gastrostomy placement (RIG) is an alternative to endoscopic PEG that does not require sedation or passage of a scope through the throat. This makes it particularly suitable for patients with oesophageal obstruction or those who cannot tolerate endoscopy.
How Is Gastrostomy Tube Placed?
Precise image-guided procedures through small punctures deliver targeted treatment with minimal tissue disruption.
Advanced percutaneous techniques allow direct access to internal organs enabling effective intervention without major surgical incisions.
State-of-the-art imaging technology ensures accurate needle placement and real-time monitoring throughout every percutaneous procedure.
Our Treatment Process
Whether you’ve been living with symptoms for a while or you’ve just been diagnosed with a condition requiring percutaneous intervention, we can help address what’s affecting you:
1
Comprehensive Evaluation
Advanced imaging and clinical assessment help pinpoint the exact problem; treatment approach is tailored to your specific condition and overall health status.
2
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Using image guidance, specialized instruments are inserted through small skin punctures to reach the target area without major surgery or large incisions.
3
Recovery & Follow-up
Most patients experience faster recovery compared to open surgery, with comprehensive follow-up care to monitor healing and ensure optimal outcomes.
FAQs About The Service
There are many questions about percutaneous interventions, we have selected frequently asked questions about this service. If you do not see your answer, please contact us.
What are percutaneous interventions?
Percutaneous interventions are minimally invasive procedures performed through small skin punctures using image guidance to access internal organs or tissues for diagnosis, drainage, or treatment without open surgery.
How long do percutaneous procedures take?
Most percutaneous procedures take 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on complexity. Simple drainages may take 20-30 minutes, while tumor ablations or complex biopsies may take 1-2 hours.
What is the recovery time after percutaneous treatment?
Recovery varies by procedure type. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours for drainage procedures, while ablations may require 3-5 days of rest before returning to regular activities.
Are percutaneous procedures safe?
Yes, percutaneous procedures have excellent safety profiles with lower complication rates compared to open surgery. Risks include minor bleeding, infection, or temporary discomfort at the puncture site, which are generally manageable and resolve quickly.
