Abstract

Gastrostomy or jejunostomy allow a safe and effective long-term enteral nutritional support. In patients with stenosis of the upper gastrointestinal tract the percutaneous endoscopic route is frequently not feasible. In these cases a laparoscopic approach is proposed. In 18 patients (n = 18) mostly with recurrent tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract a laparoscopic catheter was placed into the jejunum without complications. Enteral feeding was started on the first day after catheter placement. One patient experienced a cathetersite infection. We describe a modified technique of laparoscopic jejunostomy the placement which is easy, effective and less invasive.
