NCT ID NCT07300865
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two sizes of gastrostomy tubes (12 Fr vs 14 Fr) in 200 children to see if tube thickness affects complications like infection, pain, and leakage. Families and healthcare workers will report issues three months after surgery. The goal is to find out if a thinner tube leads to fewer problems.
