title: Simple technique of selecting the correct feeding gastrostomy button.
abstract: Feeding gastrostomy is often performed in children with neurological conditions e.g. cerebral palsy or cystic fibrosis. A feeding button is often used to replace the gastrostomy tube for convenience. The button often leaks and the correct size and length is difficult to choose. The authors describe an easy and perfect way of choosing the correct size and length button by using Foley catheters.
