Aim: To compare fluoroscopic, endoscopic and guide wire assistance with ultraslim gastroscopy for placement of nasojejunal feeding tubes.
Methods: The information regarding nasojejunal tube placement procedures was retrieved using the gastrointestinal tract database at Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College. Records from 81 patients who underwent nasojejunal tubes placement by different techniques between 2004 and 2011 were reviewed for procedure success and tube-related outcomes.
Results: Nasojejunal feeding tubes were successfully placed in 78 (96.3%) of 81 patients. The success rate by fluoroscopy was 92% (23 of 25), by endoscopic technique 96.3% (26 of 27), and by guide wire assistance (whether via transnasal or transoral insertion) 100% (23/23, 6/6). The average time for successful placement was 14.9 ± 2.9 min for fluoroscopic placement, 14.8 ± 4.9 min for endoscopic placement, 11.1 ± 2.2 min for guide wire assistance with transnasal gastroscopic placement, and 14.7 ± 1.2 min for transoral gastroscopic placement. Statistically, the duration for the third method was significantly different (P < 0.05) compared with the other three methods. Transnasal placement over a guidewire was significantly faster (P < 0.05) than any of the other approaches.
Conclusion: Guide wire assistance with transnasal insertion of nasojejunal feeding tubes represents a safe, quick and effective method for providing enteral nutrition.

Background: After Laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG), gastric cancer (GC) patients often face malnutrition. Early oral feeding (EOF) has emerged as a key strategy in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. However, the impact of EOF on post-LTG nutritional status requires further investigation.

Several techniques exist to maintain oral and/or enteral feeding among esophageal cancer (EC) patients, but their impact on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) remains unclear. This systematic review aimed to assess the impact of nutritional support techniques on PROs in EC patients. We searched Medline, Web of Science, and CINAHL Complete from inception to 3 April 2024.

This case report focuses on a patient who was diagnosed with a second (descending) part of the duodenum (D2) malignancy; the tumour was localised at the second part of the duodenum, and the management of this patient was through the Whipple procedure or pancreaticoduodenectomy. The patient complained of stinging abdomen pain.

Background: The Endoscopic Purse-string Suture (EPSS) technique has gained attention for its potential in closing large defects following gastrointestinal procedures. However, its application in fistula closure is not as widely reported. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EPSS and naso-jejunal tube feeding in the closure of duodenal cutaneous fistulas and gastric cutaneous fistulas.

Article Synopsis
- Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common problem after a surgery called pancreatoduodenectomy, and this study looks at how different treatments affect DGE rates.
- The researchers reviewed 29 studies with 5,930 patients to see if things like surgery techniques, recovery plans, and specific anesthesia methods influenced DGE.
- The results suggest that removing the pylorus (a part of the stomach), following special recovery protocols, and not using certain feeding tubes can help lower DGE rates after the surgery.
