Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement in adults who are already established on peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains challenging due to the limited experience and data in this area which lacks clear guidance. Given the fact that peritoneal dialysis is one of the relative contraindications for PEG tube insertion, and PEG tube on its own is a risk for peritonitis, how to overcome these obstacles and utilize the advantage of PEG tube for feeding malnourished PD patients remains uncertain. Here we report our unique successful experience of treating three adult peritoneal dialysis patients in whom the PEG tube was inserted successfully with no complications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first successful case series in the literature for treating adult prevalent PD patients by PEG tube placement. |
