  • Title: Button-loop feeding jejunostomy.
    Author: Ruiz-Elizalde AR, Frischer JS, Cowles RA.
    Journal: J Gastrointest Surg; 2009 Jul; 13(7):1376-8. PubMed ID: 18825465.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Post-pyloric feeding via a surgical jejunostomy allows for enteral nutrition in patients that cannot receive oral or gastric feeding. Regardless of the technique used to create a jejunostomy, complications such as tube dislodgement, jejunostomy closure, or bowel obstruction can occur. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: We present a simple and efficient jejunostomy technique that does not require a sewn anastomosis and employs an easily exchangeable feeding button.
