Area of Science:

  • Pediatric surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Neonatal care

Background:

  • Enteral feeding is crucial for high-risk infants.
  • Significant gastroesophageal reflux complicates feeding in these infants.
  • Traditional surgical options like fundoplication and gastrostomy carry high risks for some infants due to medical instability, adhesions, or anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a less invasive surgical technique for jejunal feeding in high-risk infants with gastroesophageal reflux.
  • To evaluate the safety, reliability, and convenience of this alternative feeding method.

Main Methods:

  • A novel, less invasive surgical procedure was developed and implemented.
  • The technique focuses on establishing jejunal feeding.
