Gastrostomy13
- Use of ostomy tubes, including gastrostomy (surgically making a new opening into the stomach), jejunostomy (surgically making an opening from the abdominal wall into the jejunum), and colostomy (surgically creating an articifical opening into the colon). (faqs.org)
- 4 to 6 weeks usually requires a gastrostomy or jejunostomy tube, placed endoscopically, surgically, or radiologically. (msdmanuals.com)
- Jejunostomy tubes are useful for patients with contraindications to gastrostomy (eg, gastrectomy, bowel obstruction proximal to the jejunum). (msdmanuals.com)
- Risk of tracheobronchial aspiration with jejunostomy tubes is as high as with gastrostomy tubes. (msdmanuals.com)
- The gastrointestinal routes used for enteral tube feedings are the nasogastric, nasoduodenal/nasojejunal, gastrostomy or jejunostomy routes ( Fig. 14.1 ). (basicmedicalkey.com)
- These gastrointestinal routes deliver food by a tube inserted through the nose (nasogastric, nasoduodenal/nasojejunal) or directly into the GI tract (gastrostomy or jejunostomy) through the abdominal wall. (basicmedicalkey.com)
- If long-term nutrition is required, the patient may receive a gastrostomy or a jejunostomy tube placed in the stomach or small bowel by a surgical, endoscopic, or fluoroscopic procedure. (basicmedicalkey.com)
- The three most common methods of enteral feeding are nasogastric tube feeding, gastrostomy tube feeding, and jejunostomy tube feeding. (carthealth.com)

- Three commonly used enteral tubes are the nasogastric tube, the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube, and the percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) tube. (blograng.com)
- Based on the clinical scenario, enteral feeding can be provided through gastrostomy or jejunostomy either endoscopically or surgically generated. (biomedres.us)
- However, debate remains regarding the choice of enterostomy, and jejunostomy is preferred to gastrostomy in certain conditions, particularly when the stomach is to be reserved for subsequent reconstruction. (biomedres.us)
- Enteral tubes can either be placed through the nose (nasogastric or nasojejunal tube) or through the abdominal wall (gastrostomy or jejunostomy tubes). (pharmaceutical-journal.com)
Distal jejunum4
- The decision for such an anastomosis was made because the proximal jejunum was edematous and 3 times dilated with respect to the distal jejunum. (hindawi.com)
- The 2nd exploratory laparotomy was performed, and multiple full thickness biopsies were taken for frozen section which showed ganglion cells in the distal jejunum. (biomedcentral.com)
- The distal jejunum was then brought out as loop stoma and previous stoma was closed. (biomedcentral.com)
- The proximal jejunum was anastomosed to the remnant esophagus in an end-to-end fashion, and the distal jejunum was anastomosed to the remnant colon conduit in a side-to-side fashion. (e-acfs.org)
Proximal jejunum1
- Creation of an anastomosis between the stomach and jejunum leaves a segment of the small bowel, most commonly consisting of the duodenum and proximal jejunum, lying upstream from the gastrojejunostomy. (medscape.com)
Stomach13
- A J-tube is placed into the upper part of the intestine (jejunum), just beyond the stomach. (choc.org)
- The nasoduodenal/nasojejunal and the jejunostomy routes deliver food after the stomach or below the pyloric sphincter and are used for patients at risk for aspiration. (basicmedicalkey.com)
- A PEJ tube allows specially formulated liquid nutrition to bypass your stomach and go directly to your small intestine (jejunum). (stanfordhealthcare.org)
- However, in cases in which the stomach is not available owing to prior or simultaneous gastrectomy for various reasons, using the colon or jejunum are the next choices [ 3 ]. (e-acfs.org)
- Inserted through the nose, down the oesophagus, through the stomach and into the small intestine (jejunum). (jessiemcpherson.org)

- We knew that bypassing his stomach and feeding him into his small bowel (the jejunum) worked very well, but his low weight was actually one of the issues. (justbringthechocolate.com)
- I think this is because the GJ tube is one tube that passes through the stomach into the jejunum. (justbringthechocolate.com)
- He was of course now permanently attached to a feeding pump as you can't bolus feed into the jejunum because the bowel is not designed to expand like the stomach, but this seemed like a small price to pay. (justbringthechocolate.com)
- However, most malnourished people have a functioning gastrointestinal tract capable of absorbing nutrients and it is desirable for them to be fed orally or, where needed, enterally (through a tube placed into the stomach or jejunum). (pharmaceutical-journal.com)

Patient1
- I'm lucky enough that the registrar and SHO are patient enough with me to happily show me the xray reports that they receive, so I asked to see the xray taken the day after they squirted 150mls of contrast into his jejunum. (justbringthechocolate.com)
Total1
- So, as next strategic move to counter this rather unexpected turn of events, we decided to try going down on his replacements, so the total volume of what he was receiving into his jejunum was reduced. (justbringthechocolate.com)

- The author prefers a Roux-en-Y Billroth II ( gastrojejunostomy ) reconstruction, the operative steps of which are described in the following section. (medscape.com)
- The distal cut end of jejunum is isoperistaltic and thus is used to create the gastrojejunostomy. (medscape.com)
Feeding4
- In the case of this question, there is very little data on jejunostomy tube feeding and blended diets, but having worked with tube fed patients now for over 16 years, I feel that my expert opinion and practical experience have value so I will be sharing them in this post. (naturaltubefeeding.com)
- So a jejunostomy feeding tube is essentially a hole to the small intestine. (naturaltubefeeding.com)
- So, a tube that goes into a person's nose and ends up in the jejunum is also a J-tube, but technically the proper name for that type of tube is a nasojejunal feeding tube. (naturaltubefeeding.com)
