Does a gastrostomy need to be bandaged for a long time?

Gastrostomy does not need to be bandaged for a long period of time, but it needs to be disinfected regularly to ensure that the stoma is clean and dry, medication is changed regularly, and care is regulated under the supervision of a doctor. The gastrostomy does not need to be bandaged, but the care of the stoma is particularly important in palliative care. The fistula tube needs to be replaced regularly, usually about once every six months. Fistula aging and fragmentation, etc. will affect the effectiveness of the treatment and should be checked regularly. The fistula tube should be kept dry, and it needs to be continuously rinsed with saline after each use to increase its service life. The gastrostomy requires standardized care to prevent infection. If discomfort or localized infection occurs, medical attention should be sought to replace the fistula to avoid deterioration.
