[Chinese expert consensus on clinical application of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy / jejunostomy (2024 edition)].

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy / jejunostomy (PEG/J) is a relatively safe and effective minimally invasive surgical approach to establish long-term enteral nutrition (EN) channels. Due to the good compliance and the reduced incidence of reflux and aspiration pneumonia, PEG/J is the preferred way for long-term EN and has been widely used in clinical applications. However, few technical guidelines or expert consensus guiding the clinical practice of PEG/J have been published. The formation of "Chinese expert consensus on clinical application of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy / jejunostomy (2024 edition)" is led by the Committee of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Chinese Research Hospital Association. This consensus is based on the latest clinical evidence as well as the clinical experience of Chinese experts. This consensus is divided into PEG/J indications and contraindication, perioperative management, operational techniques, prevention, and treatment of related complications and other issues. All recommendations and their strengths were carried out by expert-voting method and presented as the basic framework of "Recommended Opinions (level of evidence and strength of recommendation) and Summary of Evidence". This consensus is registered on the International Practice Guide Registration Platform (IPGRP-2022CN329).
