Abstract

Enteral nutrition (EN) is the preferred method of feeding for those who are unable to consume sufficient food and requires enteral access for long-term nutrition support. Selecting the appropriate enteral access device for delivery of EN depends on disease state, gastric and small bowel function, anticipated length of therapy, comorbidities, and social/cultural considerations. The latest endoscopic techniques allow gastroenterologists to provide minimally invasive solutions that minimize procedural complications while improving patient outcomes and quality of life. It is important for all endoscopists to understand the preoperative considerations, procedural techniques, and postprocedural complications of providing EN and luminal therapies.
