With an aging population, the number of patients with difficulty in swallowing due to medical conditions is gradually increasing. In such cases, enteral nutrition is administered through a temporary nasogastric tube. However, the long-term use of a nasogastric tube leads to various complications and a decreased quality of life. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the percutaneous placement of a tube into the stomach that is aided endoscopically and may be an alternative to a nasogastric tube when enteral nutritional is required for four weeks or more. This paper is the first Korean clinical guideline for PEG developed jointly by the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research and led by the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. These guidelines aimed to provide physicians, including endoscopists, with the indications, use of prophylactic antibiotics, timing of enteric nutrition, tube placement methods, complications, replacement, and tubes removal for PEG based on the currently available clinical evidence.

Esophageal actinomycosis is a rare, chronic granulomatous disease caused by Actinomyces species. Endoscopy and biopsy are essential for making a diagnosis. This paper reports a case of esophageal actinomycosis that developed after an endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for a subepithelial tumor (SET). A 74-year-old male patient had a 3 cm flat, smooth elevation in the esophagus without symptoms. The SET was partially resected, and histology revealed "nonspecific degenerated mesenchymal tissue". Three months later, the patient exhibited a persistently large ulceration at the EMR site, and a biopsy revealed actinomycosis. CT of the chest and abdomen revealed no abnormal findings. Ampicillin treatment was administered for six months, and the ulceration on the esophageal SET improved.
