摘要
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is an effective means of obtaining enteral access in patients who need chronic nutritional support. We describe a complication resulting from the inability to remove an inner bumper. This bumper migrated into the terminal ileum, where it lodged, causing bowel obstruction. Literature review revealed no reports of similar complications.
