What the experts said
The study analyzed the ACS NSQIP Pediatric database from 2017 to 2021
5,947 pediatric patients underwent elective laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placement in the study period
4.7% of patients were discharged the same day after laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placement
There were no significant differences in 30-day unplanned readmissions between same-day discharge and 1-2 day discharge patients
There were no significant differences in reoperations between same-day discharge and 1-2 day discharge patients
There were no significant differences in any other complications between same-day discharge and 1-2 day discharge patients
Same-day discharge for pediatric patients after elective laparoscopic gastrostomy appears to be safe
Same-day discharge after pediatric laparoscopic gastrostomy is not commonly done
