A jejunostomy tube, also called a “J-tube,” is a surgically placed tube that is put directly into your child’s small intestine. The tube is usually a red rubber tube that is stitched at the stoma site, which is the opening in the skin. This type of tube doesn’t have a balloon or mushroom end to hold it in place, so it can come out easily.
