Abstract:
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a simple and effective method of enteral nutrition in many patients who cannot take oral food. The accidental dislodgement of the PEG tube after the maturation of the gastro-cutaneous fistula (stoma) is called late dislodgement. If it is not detected early, the stoma lumen gets narrower; and does not permit the passage of the replacement tube. In this case, the commonly followed method is to continue enteral nutrition by opening a new gastro-cutaneous fistula after the complete closing of the original stoma. Here, we present a stoma-saving bougie dilatation method in 3 cases with severely narrowed stomas after late accidental dislodgement of the PEG tube.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
