Laparoscopic-guided jejunostomy

J B Morris et al. Surgery. 1992 Jul.

Abstract

The proximal jejunum is the preferred site for long-term enteral access in the patient at risk for aspiration. Herein we describe a laparoscopic technique for the creation of a feeding tube jejunostomy. This minimally invasive approach is an alternative for patients requiring chronic postpyloric enteral feeding.
