Medical Conditions - Gastrostomy

Gastrectomy is a surgical procedure where a gastrectomy tube is placed inside the stomach for nutritional support. The patient is required not to eat for several hours before the surgery, and then the interventional radiologist inserts a nasogastric tube through the nose to the stomach carefully. Before starting the procedure, the patient is put under general anesthesia. This procedure is recommended for patients who are not able to eat properly due to health complications.
