What is the Prognosis for Neonates with a Gastrostomy Tube?
The prognosis for neonates with a G-tube can vary depending on the underlying condition that necessitated its placement. In many cases, the G-tube provides a temporary solution until the infant can feed orally. For others, it may be a long-term or permanent requirement. Overall, the G-tube can significantly improve the quality of life and nutritional status of affected neonates.
