Interposed Bowel Loop during Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Placement; Rare and Nightmare

Abstract

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is one of common means of enteral nutrition in day‑to‑day gastroenterology practice. However, PEG is associated with complications such as infection, buried bumper, interposed bowel loops, and colocutaneous fistula. Herein, we present a case of PEG tube placement with interposed bowel loop in the gastric and parietal wall that was managed conservatively.
