Abstract
We report an uncommon case of perforated peritonitis resulting from the migration of a single-puncture gastric wall fixation device following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. An 83-year-old male developed acute peritonitis 6 days post-procedure, requiring emergency surgery. One fixation device was found embedded in the abdominal wall, and gastric perforation was identified. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of peritonitis caused by T-fastener migration outside the gastric wall.
