The Chait Trapdoor ™ insertion is usually free of complications, but
the following complications are possible and should be discussed
with your physician:

  • discomfort around the tube site
  • minor skin irritations
  • hypergranulation tissue (a build-up of red, raised tissue
    where the tube enters the body)
  • damage, blockage or dislodgment of the C-tube

If you have any of these complications, refer to the
Troubleshooting Chart on page 36 of this guide.
