The need for enteral access and gastrostomy placement in children has increased dramatically over the past several years. In the following article, we present a case report of a typical patient undergoing evaluation for enteral nutrition and enteral access. Following the case report, we describe our newly formed Pediatric Enteral Access Program including patient selection, the method of gastrostomy placement, risks and benefits, cost analysis, and follow-up of this ever-increasing population of children.
