<unk>  (BBS) is a condition that affects feeding tubes placed into the stomach (gastrostomy tubes) through the abdominal wall. Gastrostomy tubes include an internal<unk> , which secures the inner portion of the tube inside the stomach, and external<unk> , which secures the outer portion of the tube and opposes the abdomen.<unk>  occurs when the internal<unk>  of a gastrostomy tube erodes into the wall of the stomach. The internal<unk>  may become entirely<unk>  within the fistulous tract. The main causative factor is excessive tightening of the external<unk> , leading to increased pressure of the internal<unk>  on the wall of the stomach. Additional risk factors include: obesity, weight gain, malnutrition, corticosteroid therapy, and poor wound healing.<unk>  may be entirely asymptomatic, though tube dysfunction is common. The gastrostomy tube may leak around the entry site, or it may become difficult to infuse feeds, fluids or medications. Less often, bleeding, infection, abscess or peritonitis may occur. Diagnosis is achieved most often with upper endoscopy. Computed tomography imaging may also confirm the diagnosis. Treatment consists of removal of the gastrostomy tube, either via simple external traction or endoscopic removal. Surgery is rarely necessary.
