[Jejunostomy for feeding purposes. Considerations on 100 cases]
Minerva Chirurgica
|November 15, 1978
Summary
Jejunostomy feeding offers a simple surgical technique with rapid metabolic benefits and manageable complications. This method facilitates easy diet administration for patients requiring nutritional support.
Area of Science:
- Surgical techniques
- Gastroenterology
- Nutritional support
Context:
- Jejunostomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening into the jejunum.
- Feeding jejunostomy is utilized for nutritional support when oral or gastric feeding is not feasible.
- This study reviews personal experience with 100 jejunostomy cases for feeding.
Purpose:
- To report personal experience with jejunostomy for feeding purposes.
- To highlight the advantages of jejunostomy feeding.
- To assess the complications associated with this feeding technique.
Summary:
- The study details 100 cases of jejunostomy for feeding.
- Advantages include a simple surgical technique and ease of diet administration.
- Benefits also encompass speedy metabolic response with moderate complications.
Impact:
- Jejunostomy feeding presents a viable and advantageous option for nutritional support.
- The technique's simplicity and manageable complications support its clinical application.
- Clinicians can consider jejunostomy for improved patient metabolic response and nutritional intake.

01:26Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding
1.9K
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

1.3K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

01:26Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management
767
Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.

01:19One-Compartment Open Model for IV Bolus Administration: General Considerations
838
The one-compartment model is a pharmacokinetic tool that models the body as a single, uniform compartment, facilitating the understanding of drug distribution and elimination. This model is particularly beneficial for intravenous (IV) bolus administration, where the drug rapidly circulates throughout the body.
The drug's presence in the body is defined by an equation representing the difference between the rates of drug entry and exit. Key parameters—elimination rate constant,...
