Jejunostomy Tube Placement
The laparoscopic jejunostomy can be a very helpful procedure in the management of patients requiring intensive nutritional rehabilitation. It eliminates the risk of aspiration associated with gastrostomy feedings. In addition, this is the preferred enteral administration route in patients whom may require a future procedure requiring gastric integrity such as a patient with an adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.
