Mickey Button Insertion
For some children, eating and drinking safely, or taking in enough food and fluids by mouth for proper growth and nutrition can be a challenge. When this is the case, a gastrostomy tube may be a useful tool help your child achieve the recommended nutritional goals. A Mic-Key button is a low-profile tube that allows children to receive nutrition, fluids, and medicine directly into the stomach.
Gastrostomy tubes are placed laparoscopically in the operating room under general anesthesia, and typically takes less than thirty minutes. During the procedure, a small camera will be inserted through the belly button, and an instrument is used to bring the stomach closer to the abdominal wall so that a gastrostomy tube can be placed into the stomach from the outside. A small balloon is then inflated on the inside of the button to hold the button in place.
