Parentheses
suggestion

"Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure where a flexible feeding tube (commonly known as a PEG tube) is inserted through the abdominal wall and into the stomach via endoscopy. Alternatively a tube can be placed under radiological guidance, known as a radiologically inserted gastrostomy (RIG) or percutaneous radiological gastrostomy (PRG)."

Line 1:57 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.
Inline EG
suggestion

"A PEG tube permits nutrition, fluids and/or medications to be placed directly into the stomach, bypassing the mouth and oesophagus. This is typically performed when a patient is either unable to, or it is unsafe for them to, consume nutrition orally (e.g. in patients with swallowing issues or head and neck malignancies)."

Line 2:254 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
