Silicone Gastrostomy Tube
A gastrostomy tube is a tube inserted through a small incision in the abdomen into the stomach and is used for long-term enteral nutrition. It is suitable for long-term use, though they sometimes need to be replaced if used long-term. The G-tube can be useful where there is difficulty with swallowing because of neurologic or anatomic disorders (stroke, esophageal atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula, radiotherapy for head and neck cancer), and to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia.
