Abstract
Percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy provides good access for enteral n utrition in those patients at high risk for aspiration and poor tolera nce of gastric feeding. Positioning the jejunostomy tube through the P EG tube and into the duodenum can be difficult and time consuming. We describe a simple method for gaining rapid control of the jejuenal tub e and its duodenal insertion.
