How does a g tube site close after removal, particularly the stomach . what complications could occur? it has some epitheliazed tissue on outside.

Natural healing : It closes by the body for in scar tissue, a natural healing process. On occasion, it does not close, and may need a surgical procedure to accomplish this. Hope this helps!
