Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a common endoscopic procedure, performed to avoid malnutrition in various pathological conditions.~Gastrostomy tube placement is associated with intra and postoperative complications both in the adult and in the paediatric population.~Local infection is the most common complication following PEG.~Antibiotic prophylaxis is a well-established strategy to reduce peristomal wound infection rate in adult population.~The aim of this study is to evaluate if a single i.v. dose of co-amoxiclav before PEG can reduce the incidence of peristomal wound infection in the paediatric population.
