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.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
There are limited studies assessing modifiable preoperative risk factors for pediatric laparoscopic gastrostomy tubes (LGT) and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes. We sought to evaluate the effect of demographics and surgical/infectious history on the superficial infection rate following gastrostomy tube (GT) placement.
