Feeding Jejunostomy : Before, During and After.

Preparation for Jejunostomy 

An assessment of a patient’s past medical history, present condition, and potential to undergo feeding jejunostomy in terms of a surgical procedure will be carried out through performing physical examinations, arranging for relevant laboratory tests, taking X-rays, performing imaging studies, and so on. In doing so, they will also be giving detailed explanations about the process, its risks and complications, its recovery phase, and other treatment options available.

During the procedure

A feeding jejunostomy surgery requires general anesthesia, wherein the patient is made to lie on the operating table. In open surgery techniques, the incisions are made in the upper abdomen, where the jejunum is accessed directly. On the other hand, in laparoscopic techniques, incisions are smaller, and only a camera along with certain surgical tools are used for visualization and carrying out the operation.

After the Jejunostomy procedure

After the procedure of jejunostomy feeding, vital signs, tolerance to feeding, and J tube site will be monitored regularly. Pain medications will be administered to the patient; however, the patient might not eat or drink anything at first. As soon as the bowel movement rules are normal, the patient is offered to take clear fluids or a soft diet on a gradual basis.

Feeding jejunostomy Recovery

The use of feeding jejunostomies has been shown to contribute towards faster recovery periods, with laparoscopic jejunostomies taking 1-2 days in the hospital followed by complete healing within a week, while open surgical jejunostomies have prolonged stays in the hospital and even 4-6 weeks of healing due to wide cuts.

• Administration of medications for pain as prescribed by the doctor.
