Topic overview
Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP) before gastrostomy tube placement is supported by guidelines but evidence regarding its efficacy in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) in children is conflicting and largely extrapolated from adult data. This study aims to analyze the association between SAP and postoperative outcomes in children undergoing G-Tube placement.
