Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Dislocation 2 Days after Insertion with Consequent Peritonitis
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a procedure that involves an endoscopic guided insertion of gastrostomy tube for purposes of enteral feeding. It is usually performed in patients after brain stroke or patients with malignant disease of throat that are unable of swallowing. In some cases, the gastrosotmy tube can become dislocated, allowing the gastric content to escape into the abdominal cavity, causing intra-abdominal abscess or peritonitis. This paper presented a case of a-80-year old male patient, who needed emergency operation due to displaced gastrostomy tube 2 days after insertion.
