A simple technique for cannulation of the jejunum during laparoscopic feeding jejunostomy

摘要

Laparoscopic insertion of a feeding jejunostomy is a common but technically demanding operation. One of the most difficult aspects is the percutaneous cannulation of the jejunum. While previous authors have described techniques involving laparoscopic insertion of a purse string suture around the entry site of the jejunum, this can be technically challenging and time consuming. We describe our experience of a simple technique for this step in the procedure.
