Abstract
Laparoscopic feeding jejunostomy is a safe and reproducible method of establishing enteral feeding in patients in whom percutaneous endoscop ic gastrostomy is contraindicated. Current technology enables the jeju nostomy to be achieved within the peritoneal cavity, without retrieval of the small bowel through the abdominal wall. This quick and simple technique is described.
