Area of Science:

  • Surgical Nutrition
  • Gastroenterology
  • Postoperative Care

Background:

  • Major abdominal surgery often necessitates nutritional support.
  • Maintaining adequate caloric and protein intake is crucial for recovery.
  • Traditional feeding methods may be insufficient or complicated post-surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of jejunostomy tube feeding.
  • To assess its role in post-operative nutritional management.
  • To determine its suitability for long-term and home-based nutritional support.

Main Methods:

  • Enteral feeding via jejunostomy tube was implemented in 19 adult patients.
  • Tubes were inserted during definitive surgical procedures.
  • Patients were monitored for complications and nutritional intake over a 24-month period.

Main Results:

  • Jejunostomy feeding demonstrated a low rate of minor complications.
  • Adequate caloric and protein delivery was achieved shortly after surgery.
  • Nutritional support was sustained for up to 9 months post-operation.

Conclusions:

  • Jejunostomy tube insertion is a simple, safe, and effective procedure.
  • It offers efficient and inexpensive nutritional support for selected post-operative patients.
  • This method is suitable for both hospital and home-based nutritional management.
