Article Title: Skin-level gastrostomies and jejunostomies for long-term enteral feeding
Abstract: Skin level gastrostomies and jejunostomies were used in 17 patients for long-term enteral feeding. These devices offer greater comfort to the patient and less potential complications and dysfunction compared to tube gastrostomies and jejunostomies. Placement of the skin level devices requires “mature” gastrocutaneous and jejunocutaneous fistulas. These fistulas can be created by initial placement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomies and jejunostomies. © 1989, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
