Abstract

Jejunostomy feeding is useful for maintaining nutrition in patients with gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. Special provisions must be made in cases of occlusion or dislocation of the jejunostomy catheter, and when the catheter is narrow and difficult to approach by endoscopy. Between 2007 and 2011, we encountered 69 cases of jejunostomy: 40 performed for gastric cancer and 29 for esophageal cancer. Catheter occlusion was seen in 7 cases and catheter dislocation in 9. Of these 16 cases, 14 could be recovered using interventional radiology (IVR), and the remaining 2 could not be because of fistel closure.
