Core Tip
Core tip: We present a case of buried bumper syndrome with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube migration into the transverse colon that was treated endoscopically using the over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) system for closure. OTSC is a new endoscopic device for treatment of bleeding, perforations, leaks and fistulae in the gastrointestinal tract.
