Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tract salvage using natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery technique (with video).

摘要

PEG replacement may be performed nonendoscopi-cally with traction removal followed by insertion of a replacement tube externally. We report gastrostomy tract disruption after traction removal of a PEG tube with inadvertent placement of a new tube into the peritoneum. The original gastrostomy tract was salvaged using a natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery approach.
