    Area of Science:

    • Medical Procedures
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Needle-catheter jejunostomy (NCJ) is crucial for early nutritional support.
    • Traditional NCJ insertion can be challenging and time-consuming.
    • Minimizing operative time and material waste is desirable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new technique for NCJ insertion.
    • To demonstrate the advantages of using a J-tipped guide wire for NCJ placement.
    • To highlight the efficiency and safety of the described method.

    Main Methods:

    • A J-tipped Teflon-coated stainless steel guide wire is employed.
    • The guide wire facilitates easier passage of the catheter through the bowel.
    • The technique allows for catheter insertion without hub amputation.

    Main Results:

    • The guide wire significantly eases catheter advancement compared to the catheter alone.
    • The technique eliminates the need to amputate and reattach the catheter hub.
    • Mastery of the technique allows for NCJ insertion in approximately 2-3 minutes.
    • This rapid insertion minimizes operative time and associated morbidity.

    Conclusions:

    • The described guide wire technique offers a faster and more efficient method for NCJ insertion.
    • This approach reduces operative time and material requirements.
    • Early initiation of nutritional support is facilitated with reduced risk of central venous catheter infection.
