Jejunostomy tube feeding in patients undergoing esophagectomy.
BACKGROUND Surgical jejunostomy tubes are a routine part of elective esophagectomies in patients with carcinomas and provide a route for nutritional support in those who experience complications. We wished to determine how frequently oral intake is delayed and the amount of nutrition delivered via the jejunostomy tube. METHODS We reviewed the charts of all adults undergoing esophagectomy for ...
متن کاملEarly Postoperative 24-Hour Continuous Jejunostomy Feeding in Esophagectomy Patients
Esophagectomy can result in various postoperative nutrition-related complications that may impair the nutritional status of the patient. In our institution, we usually initiate 16-hour continuous jejunostomy feeding using an enteral feeding pump on postoperative day 2 as a routine protocol after esophagectomy. The target calorie intake was achieved in 6-7 days with this protocol, which is longe...
متن کاملPost-Esophagectomy Tube Feeding: A Retrospective Comparison of Jejunostomy and a Novel Gastrostomy Feeding Approach
BACKGROUND McKeown-type esophagectomy combined with retrosternal reconstruction is a common surgical treatment for esophageal cancer. Various enteral feeding options are available post-esophagectomy, but no definitive preference exists. METHOD "Retrosternal Route Gastrostomy Feeding (RGF)" was developed as an alternative enteral feeding approach that requires few additional surgical intervent...
متن کاملSpontaneous antegrade enteral migration of feeding jejunostomy tube.
Spontaneous migration of enteral feeding tubes is unusual. We report an 18-year-old man with corrosive stricture of the upper esophagus in whom feeding jejunostomy was performed using an 18F Levine's tube. Thirteen months later, he presented with absence of the tube. The patient was tolerating liquid diet and was managed conservatively. Serial radiographs and colonoscopy showed a steady progres...
متن کاملThe Role of Percutaneous Endoscopic Transgastric Jejunostomy in the Management of Enteral Tube Feeding
Feeding-related adverse events after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) such as aspiration pneumonia can impede the use of PEG. Percutaneous endoscopic transgastric jejunostomy (PEG-J) using large-bore jejunal tubes with gastric decompression function may improve outcomes by circumventing gastric passage during enteral nutrition and improving drainage of excessive gastric secretions. Thi...
