Is this in stomach? Peg tube is entirely different thing. That doesn’t require stitches but it has cuff that’s inflated and it has low risk of site infection. And gastroenterologist place this PEG tube. Surgeon do a feeding jejunostomy that’s entirely different procedure and they use folley catheter like used in your pt case.
