Same-Day Discharge for Elective Pediatric Laparoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Insertion is Safe and Increasing in Frequency; A NSQIP Pediatric Retrospective Review 2017 to 2021
Topic overview
This retrospective study analyzes NSQIP Pediatric data from 2017-2021 to evaluate the safety and trends of same-day discharge following elective laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placement in children. The research addresses a gap in literature regarding outpatient management of this common pediatric surgical procedure and examines whether ambulatory approaches yield comparable outcomes to traditional inpatient care.
Key takeaways
- Same-day discharge after elective pediatric laparoscopic G-tube placement is becoming more common nationally (2017-2021 trend).
- NSQIP-Pediatric data suggests same-day discharge is safe for selected patients undergoing elective laparoscopic gastrostomy.
- Outpatient G-tube placement may reduce hospital costs and family burden without compromising safety in appropriate candidates.
