GOMEZ-ZULETA, Martín Alonso; RIVEROS-VEGA, Javier Humberto e RUIZ-MORALES, Óscar. Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy. Is It Truly Harmless?. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.4, pp.467-471. Epub 26-Fev-2024. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.1037.
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is performed quite frequently in our environment. In general, its complications are few and mostly minor; however, there is a 2.4% incidence of significant complications, particularly abnormal displacement of the internal bumper of the gastrostomy, known as buried bumper syndrome (BBS). Serious infections, tears, and fistulas can also occur. This work illustrates five cases of severe complications of PEG.
