Detailed explanation-2: -A gastrostomy is a tube which is inserted through the abdominal wall (tummy) into the stomach. There are two common types of gastrostomy, Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy devices (PEGS) and low-profile ‘Buttons’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your child’s gastrostomy tube (G-tube) is a special tube in your child’s stomach that will help deliver food and medicines until your child can chew and swallow. Sometimes, it is replaced by a button, called a Bard Button or MIC-KEY, 3 to 8 weeks after surgery.

Detailed explanation-5: -Skin-level or “buttons” are the most common type of g-tube that we use at Children’s Colorado. Long tubes that hang outside the body are generally only recommended if the skin-level g-tube isn’t a good match for your child (if the skin get irritated, for example).
