Modified Laparoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Placement in Children: Does Subcutaneous Suture Type Matter?

Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

This retrospective study of 113 pediatric laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placements compared surgical site infection rates across three absorbable suture types used for subcutaneous tacking. Poliglecaprone suture showed zero infections versus 16-18% with polyglactin or polydioxanone, suggesting suture choice may impact SSI risk in this modified technique.
