Abstract
An 86-year-old woman was referred to the author’s department with dysphasia and a prolonged consciousness disorder due to stroke. Since these symptoms had lasted for more than two months, there was an indication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Informed consent for PEG was obtained from the patient’s family, and PEG was attempted. Although two-point fixation of the abdomi-nal wall and the stomach had been performed, gastric mucosal laceration had occurred during the insertion of a 24-Fr PEG
