Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Diagnosis of Buried Bumper Syndrome 1
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Diagnosis of Buried Bumper Syndrome –
Decision Tree
Are symptoms suggestive of buried bumper? (pain and tenderness at PEG site, pain on feeding, tube blockage,
extravasation of feed, site breakdown, peristomal infection)
Seek advice from your local nutrition team
Buried bumper unlikely – consider alternative
explanation for symptoms eg infection
Consider imaging if diagnosis unclear (CT scan, contrast
study, abdominal ultrasound or EUS)4
Gastroscopy4
Consider alternative explanation for symptoms
eg infection4
Yes No
Have you confirmed that this is a PEG tube(not a jejunostomy tube or PEG-J)?
Is it possible to push the PEG tube into the stomach?
Seek advice from your local nutrition teamNo
No

Is diagnosis of buried bumper confirmed?

Decision Tree
November 2012
The BAPEN Principles of Good Nutritional Practice (Decision Trees) have been prepared to assist health care professionals in the decision making processes surrounding nutritional care. Users of these materials may only do so on the condition that they exercise their own professional knowledge and skills. BAPEN does not owe a duty of care and cannot accept liability to anyone using these Decision Trees.

Key Points
1.Definitionofburiedbumper
Buried bumper is the partial or complete growth of gastric mucosa over the internal bumper. The bumper may migrate through the gastric wall and may lodge anywhere along the gastrostomy tract. It usually occurs months to years after PEG placement1, but has been reported as early as 6 days after PEG insertion2.
2.Incidenceofburiedbumper
0.3%–2.4% of patients with a gastrostomy (may be reduced in recent years with improvements in the design of tubes)1,3,4.
3.Riskfactorsforaburiedbumper5,6
Excessive tension between the internal and external bumpers
Failure to adjust the position of the external bumper as the patient’s nutritional state improves
PEG tube characteristics
Small inner bumper
Sharp tapered flange
Stiff (polyurethane) tubes
Silicon internal retention disc
Malnutrition and poor wound healing
4.Diagnosisofburiedbumper
Endoscopy7-9
At endoscopy the appearances of a buried bumper can vary from heaped up mucosa around the inner bumper partly covering it to a heaped mound in which it can be very difficult to see the bumper at all. There may be pus oozing from a pimple in the mound to give a clue, or it may be possible to see fluid appearing from a crevice in the mucosa when the tube is flushed.
Abdominalultrasound7
Endoscopicultrasound10-12
Contrast studies4
CT scan13
Both abdominal ultrasound and CT scans may be used to determine the position of the bumper in the abdominal wall and to visualise any associated abscess. Some authors have suggested that bumpers that are located in an extramural position should be removed surgically11,12.
Completely buried bumper – bumper not visible at all at endoscopy
