Gastrojejunostomy Tube Placement in Pediatric Patients: A Comparison of Staged Versus Primary Techniques and Associated Outcomes.

SVSage A Vincent EMEmily C Meneses ABAlexandra Barone-Camp

Key Points

The research aims to compare the outcomes of staged versus primary gastrojejunostomy tube placement in pediatric patients.
Comparison of staged gastrojejunostomy tube (sGJT) and primary gastrojejunostomy tube (pGJT) placement
Measurement of procedure time, hospital length of stay (LOS), and radiation exposure
Assessment of complication rates for both techniques
pGJT associated with longer procedure time
pGJT linked to shorter hospital LOS
Reduced radiation exposure observed with pGJT
High complication rates noted for both placement modalities

Abstract

Pediatric pGJT is associated with longer procedure time, but shorter hospital LOS and reduced radiation exposure when compared with patients undergoing planned or delayed sGJT placement. Complication rates after GJT are high regardless of placement modality.
