The tube that goes through the stomach for feeding is called a gastrostomy tube, commonly referred to as a G-tube. It is placed through the abdominal wall directly into the stomach to provide nutrition to individuals who are unable to eat by mouth. This tube is often used for long-term feeding needs in patients with various medical conditions.
