Abstract
After esophagectomy in which a surgical jejunostomy is performed, there is a small group of patients whose jejunostomy tube has been removed who require late postoperative nutritional support. For these patients, a percutaneous replacement jejunostomy technique is described that is simple and safe and that allows for enteral alimentation.
