  • Title: A new use for catheter duodenostomy. Postoperative enteric dimentation.
    Author: Oakes DD, Couch NP.
    Journal: Arch Surg; 1975 Jul; 110(7):845-6. PubMed ID: 806276.
    Abstract:
    A planned duodenal tube fistula was used in conjunction with partial gastrectomy to avoid closure of a difficult duodenal stump. Because the patient refused adequate oral feedings for various reasons, despite a functional and patent intestinal tract, the duodenostomy tude was used for alimentation. Removal of such tubes should be delayed in such patients until their oral intake is satisfactory.
