Answer

Diet plays a key role in Rehabilitation. The Clinical Dietitian of Apokatastasi, in collaboration with the other members of the Bi-Scientific Rehabilitation Team, provides the right dietary support based on the nutritional needs and the objective nutritional potential of each patient. This means, for example, that they will be different meals for diabetic patients, renal, hypertensive, cardiopathic, gastrostomy patient, obese patient. For the nourishment of Closed Hospitalization Unit patients, we have ensured that the strictest hygiene and safety rules are respected, not only on the basis of ISO 22000, 9001 Certifications, but also with additional controls and specific specifications.

Answer

DTracheostomy and gastrostomy are placed to minimize the possibility of developing serious complications (pneumonia from aspiration, esophageal ulceration from long-lasting nasogastric tube, malnutrition, etc.).
Their existence, in the majority of cases, does not make patients unresectable. On the contrary, "in experienced hands", it facilitates and speeds up the recovery of these patients.
