Meaning of "gastrostomy" in English

A gastrostomy is a medical procedure involving the creation of an opening from the skin into the stomach to allow for feeding directly into the stomach. This opening is typically created through the abdominal wall and is often performed when a patient is unable to consume food orally due to illness, injury, or surgery. Gastrostomies can be temporary or permanent, depending on the patient's condition. They are usually facilitated through the insertion of a tube, known as a gastrostomy tube, which helps deliver nutrition, fluids, and medication directly into the stomach.
