Gastrostomy

What is a gastrostomy

 Sometimes a child requires help with feeding, as they are unable to safely take full oral feeds.

A gastrostomy is a device that allows feeds to go directly into the stomach. 

Your doctor can use the images below to explain to you about the device and how it works. (The labels are coming soon)
