Frequently Asked Questions
A gastrostomy is a surgical procedure where a feeding tube is inserted directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. It's used to provide nutrition to individuals who cannot eat or swallow properly.
Gastrostomy tubes are needed by individuals who have difficulty swallowing due to conditions such as neurological disorders, head and neck cancers, or severe gastrointestinal disorders.
A gastrostomy tube can be inserted using different techniques, including percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) or open surgical procedures.
The primary purpose of a gastrostomy tube is to provide a way to deliver liquid nutrition, medications, and fluids directly into the stomach when oral intake is not possible.
Yes, some gastrostomy tubes are placed temporarily to support patients during recovery from surgery or when they have a short-term inability to eat normally.
Yes, there are various types of gastrostomy tubes, including low-profile buttons, balloon-type tubes, and long tubes for more complex cases.
Gastrostomy tubes are often secured using external devices, such as skin adhesive, suture or a bolster, to prevent displacement.
Risks include infection, tube dislodgement, leakage around the tube site, bleeding, and complications related to anaesthesia.
