Abstract

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes are commonly used for long-term nutritional support in patients with impaired swallowing due to neurological conditions, malignancy, or critical illness. Although placement, removal, and replacement are generally safe, complications may occur. We report a case of complete gastric outlet obstruction due to unusually deep percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube insertion during replacement in a 63-year-old man with esophageal cancer. Symptoms resolved after repositioning the tube. This case highlights the need for proper training and postreplacement verification to ensure safe outcomes.

经皮内镜胃造口管常用于因神经系统疾病、恶性肿瘤或危重疾病导致的吞咽受损患者的长期营养支持。虽然植入、移除和替换通常是安全的，但可能会发生并发症。我们报告一例63岁男性食管癌患者在置换术中因异常深的经皮内窥镜胃造口管插入而完全性胃出口梗阻。重新定位导管后症状消失。这个案例强调需要适当的培训和安置后核查，以确保安全的结果。
