Event Description

During a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (peg), the physician used a cook peg 24 percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy set - pull and stated that 3 days after placement, patient had some difficulties including food leakage to the exterior and he found peg tube broken.After that, he retired [retrieved] the broken parts and replaced the tube for a new one using the same ostomy that was used originally.The following additional information was provided from a letter from the physician.I have been treating patient, (b)(6) years old, for a carcinoma in her larynx.She is radiotherapy recurrent.On (b)(6) 2020 she was subjected to surgery in (b)(6) hospital (b)(6).The procedure started with an endoscopic gastrostomy which concluded without incidents.Then we proceeded with total laryngectomy with selective bilateral dissection of the neck without complications.She started her diet through the catheter on (b)(6) 2020, without any problems.At 06:00 hrs.Of (b)(6) we started having difficulties feeding her through the probe, with leaking to the exterior and pain, after that the catheter was spontaneously self-ejected.The ct showed that the internal dome was in the gastric wall.That same day we placed another gastrostomy, this time through laparoscopy and the dome was extracted.Another catheter was placed without complications.She is currently with parenteral nutrition and feeding through the probe will be reinstated 72 hours after the gastrostomy.The spontaneous self-ejection came with a small fragment of the internal dome.The only explanation i can find to this case is that the dome was defective which led to the detachment of the probe and its self-ejection.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient required a gastrostomy by laparoscopy to remove from the bolster of the device due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
