[Needle catheter jejunostomy. An improved technique for enteral feeding (author's transl)]
Abstract
The authors have perfected the method of needle catheter jejunostomy introduced in 1973 for enteral feeding. Using the Seldinger technique reduces the risks of leakage, intra-operative haematoma and fistula following removal of the catheter. The operative procedure is described and the preliminary results are reported.
