Jejunostomy Overview:
Jejunostomy is a surgical procedure that involves placing a tube in the proximal jejunum to deliver nutrition. Techniques include longitudinal Witzel, transverse Witzel, open gastrojejunostomy, needle catheter, percutaneous endoscopic, and laparoscopy. It’s recommended for patients with conditions like esophageal cancer or severe gastrointestinal obstruction that restrict stomach and small intestine function.
Jejunostomy indications include conditions such as esophageal or stomach blockage, swallowing difficulties, intestinal issues, or post-digestive surgery recovery. Feeding jejunostomy is an effective method for delivering nutrients and medications directly into the small intestine when oral intake is not feasible, preventing malnutrition and promoting healing. Jejunostomy tubes can provide short-term or long-term nutritional support, offering a safe and minimally complicated feeding option.

Jejunostomy: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Preparation: Before the jejunostomy procedure, the patient undergoes a thorough physical examination and medical history review. They are given instructions on preparation, diet, medications, and bowel preparation.
During the procedure: After administering anesthesia, the surgeon makes an abdominal incision to access the jejunum. A feeding tube is then inserted through the opening and secured in place using stitches or an external device. The procedure usually lasts one to two hours.
After the procedure: Following a jejunostomy procedure, the patient will be monitored in a recovery room for several hours and given pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. They will be checked for proper feeding tube placement and function and receive instructions on home tube care. The patient may need hospitalization for a few days for further recovery and nutrition.
Jejunostomy recovery: A gastrojejunostomy procedure typically takes six weeks to recover, with a few hospital days post-surgery for monitoring, pain management, and teaching jejunostomy tube care. Initially, the patient may not tolerate feeds through the tube, but the doctor will gradually introduce fluids and nutrients.
Post-procedure care: Post-operative care for jejunostomy procedure include:
- Doctor prescribes pain medication for post-surgery discomfort.
- Nurse provides training on jejunostomy tube care.
- Cleaning the stoma site with sterile solution and gauze is essential.
- Proper handling and manipulation of the tube is crucial.
- Feeding schedule is determined by the doctor, starting with clear liquids gradually.
- Initial activity restrictions may promote healing.
- Ongoing nutritional support through the tube or transition back to oral intake may be necessary.
- Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled.
