Gastrostomy tube dislodgement into the peritoneal cavity after its manual insertion


Abstract

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a usual technique in our daily clinical practice. Although it is a very safe procedure, it is important to know its complications for their prevention and early detection. We present a patient with abdominal pain after manual insertion after accidental removal.

Keywords: tube dislodgement, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, enteral nutrition.
