The patients were assessed in terms of indications, complications and results. Results: Among these patients, 70 (61.9%) were male and 40 (38.1%) were female. Though 8 (7%) patients had head, neck and esophageal cancer; 105 (93%) patients had primer or seconder neurological disorders. After the PEG, any serious complication was seen in patients. Wound infections were encountered in five patients (4.4%) and the rate of minor complications was found to be 9.7%. The risk of complications was higher in patients over sixty years and men (p values of 0.049 and 0.022). Conclusion: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, a simple and safe method of enteral nutrition with a low complication rate, should be the first choice when extended period enteral nutrition is required. There is increased risk of complications in elderly males. Key words: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, indication, complication
