Gastrostomies
Gastrostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating a passage between the stomach and the outside of the body, usually through the abdominal wall. This allows for the insertion of a tube that can be used to provide nutrition or medication directly into the stomach. A gastrostomy can be used in individuals who have a condition that makes it difficult or impossible to swallow or digest food normally, such as esophageal cancer, tumors, or neurological disorders. It can also be used in individuals who have a poor oral intake or are at risk of malnutrition. The term "gastrostomies" refers to multiple gastrostomy tubes inserted, often with the intention of providing prolonged or lifelong access to nutrition.
