Direct percutaneous jejunostomy is considered in patients where percutaneous gastrostomy is not feasible (stomach removed or inaccessible). Percutaneous jejunostomy is more difficult than gastrostomy techniques. Direct jejunostomy is performed under fluoroscopic guidance, using a nasojejunal tube to distend the jejunum. The jejunal loop is punctured using a Cope suture anchor, under ultrasound guidance. Water-soluble contrast material is injected through the needle to document intralumenal position, and an anchor is inserted. With the guide wire in place, the track is dilated and a 10-F pigtail catheter inserted into the proximal jejunum. Fluoroscopy can also be used to aid puncture using dilute contrast material, if used via the nasogastric tube. Antiperistaltic agents can also be used to aid jejunal puncture. The cumulative procedure-related mortality from the three reported series in the literature is 2.4%, with minor complications occurring in 10 to 11%. Although jejunostomy is not performed frequently, this is a feasible procedure for interventional radiology.

Direct Initiation of Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel Infusion After a Positive Levodopa Challenge Test in Advanced Parkinson's Disease.
Brain Behav

Department of Neurology, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland.
Article Synopsis
- LCIG is a treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease, often starting with a nasojejunal tube (NJT) test phase, but some centers have initiated treatment directly with a PEG-J tube.
- A study compared these two methods in 33 advanced PD patients, evaluating treatment discontinuations, adverse events, and hospital stay length.
- Results showed no significant differences in complications or discontinuations between the two methods, but direct initiation with PEG-J reduced hospital stays significantly.
Pediatric laparoscopic versus percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement: a single-center review.
Pediatr Surg Int
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Emory School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the outcomes of two gastrostomy tube placement techniques—laparoscopic (LAP) and percutaneous endoscopic (PEG)—in pediatric patients, focusing on complications and the need for additional procedures.
- - Researchers reviewed records of 688 patients aged 0-18 who had GT placements, finding that LAP patients were generally younger and lighter than PEG patients, but both groups had similar rates of major complications.
- - Results showed that PEG patients had a higher likelihood of developing skin infections, while no LAP placements failed during the study period, indicating potential advantages of LAP over PEG in certain aspects.
Simplified technique in total pancreatectomy with islet cell autotransplantation after Frey's procedure: a case report.
Surg Case Rep
November 2024
Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery Division, Department of Surgery, National Center for Global Health and Medicine, 1-21-1 Toyama, Shinjuku-Ku, Tokyo, 162-8655, Japan.
Background: The selection of the surgical approach for chronic pancreatitis (CP) is determined by various factors including inflammatory location, presence of pancreatic duct dilatation, or possibility of cancer. Total pancreatectomy (TP), with or without islet cell autotransplantation, is considered for patients with refractory CP after the failure of other surgical treatments. Considering the increasing incidence of CP requiring surgical treatment, the number of cases in which TP is performed after previous surgical treatment is expected to increase.

Background: Ingested dental prosthesis are susceptible to impaction in the gastrointestinal tract due to their sharp edges, size and contour. Delays in presentation arise from the lack of clear history of ingestion and misdiagnosis occurs due to the radiolucency of denture material on plain radiography. An acquired, non-malignant tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) may develop from a chronically impacted denture.
