Peristomal infection in percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG): a comparative study of two gastropexy techniques in a before-and-after design.

Introduction: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) performed using the Pull technique is associated with a high rate of surgical infections. When PEG is performed using the Introducer technique, a lower rate of infection is seen. However, this technique can pose technical difficulties during gastropexy.
