Reviews
“I am honored to have had the privilege of reviewing “Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy” (PEG) edited by doctors Pauli and Marks.” I have lived every day of almost the past four decades dealing with the issues of PEG, its indications, methods, and complications. During that time I have seen little dramatic change in the initial methods, but rather a subtle evolution in the selection of patients, and refinement of technique. I have been blessed to work with a number of caring and talented physicians who have supported me and made significant contributions to my efforts. Many of those individuals are authors herein. The present work is well designed, comprehensive, and well written. The issues surrounding patient selection, ethics, technique, and complications are addressed and the illustrations and photographs are excellent, demonstrating even minor details clearly. The editorial comments at the end of each chapter serve to focus the reader upon the important issues addressed. This is the most comprehensive treatise ever written on this subject and an important addition to the library of every therapeutic endoscopist.” – Jeffrey L. Ponsky, M.D., Professor of Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio.
