In brief

This study examines modifiable preoperative risk factors that influence superficial infection rates after gastrostomy tube placement in pediatric patients. The research compares outcomes between laparoscopic and percutaneous endoscopic approaches, analyzing patient demographics and surgical history to identify opportunities for infection prevention.
