A Rare but Fetal Complication of PEG: Buried Bumper Syndrome (BBS)

Abstract

Buried Bumper Syndrome (BBS) is defined as migration of inner bumper (fixating internal part of PEG) along the stoma channel. The bumper may be partially covered by over-growth mucosa or completely dislodged outside the gastric wall. Complete BBS without visible part of inner pumper can be a challenge for endoscopic management. Here, we present a 72yearold nursing home resident with complete BBS.
