It was reported that the patient felt pain when handling the gastrostomy tube 6 months after placement, which led to stop the enteral feeding.Fibroscopy was performed on (b)(6) 2020 and it was found that the "dome of the gastrostomy tube was no longer visible in the wall." the probe was removed by external traction.Additional information received 30-jun-2020 indicated "the factors favoring the inclusion of the device in the gastric wall in this particular case are most certainly a reluctance to gastrostomy care and mobilization following a wall infection, and a heavy immunosuppressive treatment, therefore a fairly fragile area and a gradual migration of the device has been observed.Patient's condition is fine.".
