A member asked:
My client has a mickey button and when we remove the feeding tube stomach contance comes out is the balloon not got enough water or air in it or what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing post: A Mickey button is placed through a hole in the abdominal wall directly into the stomach. The hole is a direct tunnel to the stomach and any time the device is removed the stomach contents can leak trough the hole. If the stomach contents leak while the Mickey button is in place, the retention balloon is not properly inflated.
