AimPercutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the standard for placing gastrostomy in children needing long-term enteral nutrition, with major and minor complications reported in up to 19% and 47.7% of children, respectively. We reviewed our experience with PEG, concentrating on the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in reducing infectious complications. MethodsWe performed a retrospective, single-centre study that comprised all children up to 18 years of age who underwent a first PEG procedure in the VU University Medical Centre, Amsterdam, from 2008 to 2012. All complications up to one month after PEG were recorded. Infection rates with and without antibiotic prophylaxis could be compared as a new protocol requiring the preprocedure administration of cefazolin was not followed consistently. ResultsWe enrolled 129 patients (78 male) with a mean age of 4.9 4.8 years and median age of 2.9 years. Major complications were seen in seven patients (5.4%) and minor complications in 23 patients (17.8%). Antibiotic prophylaxis was administered to 99 of 129 children (76.7%). Infections occurred in 15 of 129 patients (11.6%); 14 of 99 with and 1 of 30 without prophylaxis developed infections (p = 0.106). Peristomal infections were the most frequent complication (10.1%). ConclusionPercutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was a safe procedure and antibiotic prophylaxis did not seem to decrease infectious complications.
