Granulation Tissue Treatment: Silver Nitrate vs Kenalog vs Washcloth Abrasion

Summary

Granulation tissue, or excess tissue, forms around gastrostomy tube sites and is a common problem seen in the pediatric surgery population. There is no standard treatment that has been identified in clinical practice to treat granulation tissue effectively. Clinicians prescribe treatments of varying nature to help treat this condition. By conducting this study, the investigators hope to identify if there is any difference in the treatment groups and if there is any superiority for one treatment over the other. The three arms in the study are Silver Nitrate treatment, treatment with Kenalog, and Washcloth abrasion. Treatments will continue over a period of three weeks, and the progress will be followed using surveys and photographs.
