Sometimes some people can no longer eat orally, as in the case of swallowing disorders. Enteral nutrition can then be used to nourish them, thanks to an intervention: gastrostomy.
This operation consists of making an orifice in the stomach and adding a feeding tube to it. It will allow, by means of a tubing and nutrition bags, enteral nourishment, either provided directly in the stomach of the patient who can no longer eat orally (by mouth).
