Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a valid alternative to surgical gastrostomy to provide nutritional support in patients unable to ingest food. Previous Billroth II gastroresection is no longer a controindication. We describe our experience with 5 cases of PEG placement in patients who had previously undergone Billroth II gastroresection.
