Core Tip	Gastrostomy tube (G-tube) complications can be evaluated using fluoroscopy or 2-view contrast radiography with positive contrast injection. Presence of intraluminal contrast with gastric contour and rugae, normal emptying into the duodenum and confirmation of balloon positioning are key indicators of appropriate positioning. Awareness of critical complications associated with G-tube helps in early recognition and better patient management. These conditions include intraperitoneal placement, bowel perforation, colonic or esophageal placement, buried bumper syndrome and local abscess.
