| Abstract |
|
|
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has widely accepted for providing safe, long-term enteral nutrition for patients with swallowing disabilities. Though safe and technically simple, this procedure is often associated with some complications, such as wound infection, bleeding, stroma leaks and tube transposition. Major complications are rare and these include aspiration pneumonia, perforations, peritonitis and necrotizing fasciitis. We report here on a patient who developed extensive subcutaneous emphysema with hemoperitoneum and peritonitis following PEG. Medical treatment without removal of the PEG led to resolution of the emphysema and the peritonitis and successful PEG feeding. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;38:266-269) |
