Docs, could a baby use a g-tube from birth to adulthood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depend: depend on how they did it most surgeon and pediatric surgeon will make a plan to create a permanent tube from the stomach and connect it to the skin this way it will grow with the child and does not have to be changed only the tube could be inserted during the feeding and taking out after depend on how the feeding is done some will do it intermittent and some continuous no feeding at night period
