Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and jejunostomy (PEJ) are nutritional ostomy into the digestive tract intended for the application of enteral nutrition fluids and drugs. They are indicated for long-term nutrition in patients with a preserved functional gastrointestinal tract, in cases where the patient is not capable of adequate food intake by mouth and the administration of this nutrition is expected to be longer than 4-6 weeks. The correct indication, adequate preparation of the patient for the procedure and follow-up after PEG or PEJ insertion, along with education of both the patient and his family members and other caregivers, reduce the risk of complications.

Keywords: percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, jejunostomy, education, home environment.
