I cant see why you would change the removal route if its a "normal" PEG.
Surely it is simple and over and done with just pulling it out. No waiting to make sure ( and checking ) to ensure it is passed.
I change Kris's Mickey when needed and it is so simple. Out and In.Can not see why Cut and push would be preferable.
