Abstract. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement is an established procedure in the nutritional management of patients. There are numerous reports in the literature describing the techniques for placing PEG tubes. However, there are few reports that discuss the proper methods for removing these devices and the complications that may result from incorrectly removing a PEG tube. An increasing number of patients with PEG tubes are being cared for by individuals who are not familiar with these devices and their proper method of removal. The use of an incorrect method to remove a PEG tube may result in significant morbidity to the patient. We report a case of bowel obstruction resulting from the incorrect removal of a PEG tube that required laparotomy. To prevent similar complications, PEG tubes should be removed using the appropriate method by individuals familiar with the device.
