Modifiable preoperative risk factors to mitigate postoperative site infection following pediatric gastrostomy
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.
