ABSTRACT
Peritonitis is an infrequent yet major complication of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Traditionally, patients with peritonitis from leaking PEG tubes underwent open abdominal exploration with repair of the gastrostomy site. We report successful laparoscopic treatment of this significant complication. Surgical techniques and technical aspects of the procedure are discussed.
