Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

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.

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

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...

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.
Drugs in...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

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.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Summary

A severe complication after gastric surgery led to aggressive surgical intervention, including a cervical esophagostomy and jejunostomy for feeding. This technique proved safe for long-term use in a patient with advanced gastric cancer.

Robotic-assisted Lateral Pancreaticojejunostomy for Chronic Pancreatitis

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Surgical Oncology

Background:

Subtotal gastrectomy is a common procedure for gastric neoplasms.
Lesser curvature necrosis is a rare but severe complication post-gastrectomy.
Esophageal and gastric stump involvement necessitates aggressive surgical management.

Observation:

A female patient developed peritonitis following subtotal gastrectomy for gastric neoplasm.
Necrosis extended from the lesser curvature to the anterior esophageal wall.
Further surgery included esophageal and gastric stump transection, cervical esophagostomy, and needle catheter jejunostomy for feeding.

Findings:

The patient required a jejunostomy for long-term nutritional support due to unreconstructable GI tract post-surgery.
Reconstruction was precluded by tumoral infiltration of the colon and tumor recurrence.
The jejunostomy feeding technique was utilized for 187 days without complications.

Implications:

Cervical esophagostomy and jejunostomy can be a safe and effective long-term feeding solution when GI reconstruction is not feasible.
This case highlights an uncommon but critical surgical complication and its management.
Highlights the potential for long-term use of needle catheter jejunostomy in complex oncological cases.
