This paper examining the outcomes after PEG in children at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center is the largest study to date, consisting of 760 patients over an 11-year period. The report demonstrated that preoperative diagnosis, indication, prematurity, and history of neurological impairment did not influence postoperative complications. It did suggest that younger patients and those with a preoperative history of dysphagia or aspiration on modified barium swallow study had a higher incidence of subsequent fundoplication.

This paper compared gastrostomy insertion via PEG placed by surgeons versus interventional radiologists. The authors demonstrated that although major complications were rare, they were more frequent in those tubes placed by radiologists.

This report compares placement of gastrostomy tubes in infants and children using PEG alone and laparoscopic-assisted PEG. Although operative time for PEG alone was shorter than laparoscopically assisted gastrostomy placement, there were more complications requiring a second operation in the PEG-alone group.
