Does the Thickness of the Gastrostomy Affect the Incidence of Complications? A Prospective Randomized Single-Center Study in Children
Sponsor: Therese Hössjer
Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to compare two different sizes of a gastrostomy tube in children and the incidence of complications three months postoperatively. The study is questionnare-based and both the family and health care personel will fill in the formula about complications at the re-visit when the tube is changed the first time at three months postoperatively. Complications requested are: granuloma, infection, pain, dislocation and leakage.
