Abstract:
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy is a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy derived technique, that is widely employed. However it has a high incidence of mechanic complications. Percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy direct access, improves these problems and allows to apply this technique in patients with previous gastric resection or with other gastric diseases that contraindicate percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. We describe, for the first time in our country, a direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy placement.
