Abstract

The article discusses the development and use of a safe and simple technique for the removal and replacement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube following buried bumper syndrome. It mentions that the new method does not require using needle and a knife or complex endoscopic maneuvers and can be used in a routine procedure under sedation and can be carried out by all endoscopists.
