Abstract
A percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) is preferred to a percutan eous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for enteral feeding in certain condi tions. The PEJ can be placed under local anaesthetic and sedation, thu s avoiding the morbidity associated with an open procedure. We describ e the construction of PEJs for enteral feeding in three patients suffe ring from Roux stasis syndrome.
