  • First Online:
Chassin's Operative Strategy in General Surgery

Abstract

Feeding jejunostomy tubes are placed for long-term enteral nutrition, especially in patients with gastroesophageal reflux, aspiration risk, gastric dysfunction, or history of upper gastrointestinal tract surgery. These tubes may be placed with a variety of techniques including an open approach, laparoscopy, percutaneous endoscopy, or a needle catheter approach. This chapter focuses on the technique for open and laparoscopic placement of feeding jejunostomy tubes. Indications, pitfalls and danger points, preoperative preparation, postoperative care, and complications are discussed. Details of operative strategy and technique are given.
