Popis: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a safe and effective method for providing long term enteral nutrition in patients who cannot swallow, but who have intact gut function. A complication of migration of the internal bumper into the gastric or abdominal wall, called buried bumper syndrome, may happen in some patients. We report a rare case of buried bumper syndrome successfully treated with a Savary-Gilliard dilator.
