A comparison of laparoscopic gastrostomy tubes and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in infants: results from a single institution

This retrospective study of 186 infants compared laparoscopic gastrostomy (LG) versus percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement over 5 years. While overall complication rates were similar (25% LG vs 31.5% PEG), PEG patients required significantly more additional procedures under general anesthesia, suggesting LG may be preferable in this age group.
