04:03 PM Abstract No. 313 Procedural outcomes of single-session versus dual-session port and gastrostomy tube placements in cancer patients

Ports and gastrostomy/gastrojejunostomy tubes (G/GJ-tubes) are common devices utilized during treatment of oncology patients. Combining port and G/GJ-tube placement into a single session can be advantageous from both patient care and resource utilization perspectives. We compared the rates of infection and other device complications in patients receiving a port and G/GJ-tube in one session compared with receiving the devices in two sessions.
