  • - The study compares the outcomes of two gastrostomy tube placement techniques—laparoscopic (LAP) and percutaneous endoscopic (PEG)—in pediatric patients, focusing on complications and the need for additional procedures.
  • - Researchers reviewed records of 688 patients aged 0-18 who had GT placements, finding that LAP patients were generally younger and lighter than PEG patients, but both groups had similar rates of major complications.
  • - Results showed that PEG patients had a higher likelihood of developing skin infections, while no LAP placements failed during the study period, indicating potential advantages of LAP over PEG in certain aspects.
