A gastrostomy tube is a medical device inserted through the abdominal wall into the stomach. It is used to provide nutrition to individuals who cannot eat by mouth due to various medical conditions, such as stroke, cancer, or neurological disorders. The tube allows for direct delivery of food, fluids, and medications. The procedure to place a gastrostomy tube is called gastrostomy, and it can be done using different methods, including endoscopy or surgery. Care and maintenance of the tube are essential to prevent infections and ensure proper function. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is also important for the patient's well-being.
