Abstract
- Buried bumper syndrome (BBS) is an unusual complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement, typically occurring 3-6 months thereafter. Few documented cases exist of BBS occurring within 14 days of PEG tube insertion (termed early onset BBS). Information regarding the clinical features and appropriate management of early onset BBS is limited. Herein we report our experience of two cases of early onset BBS successfully treated endoscopically, together with the literature review.
