A surgical operation that creates an artificial opening through the abdominal wall into the jejunum, the middle part of the small intestine. A feeding tube passed through this opening delivers liquid nutrition directly into the gut, bypassing the mouth, oesophagus, and stomach. Jejunostomy feeding suits patients with swallowing disorders, stomach dysfunction, or upper gastrointestinal obstruction who still have a working small intestine. Because feeds enter beyond the stomach, they must be delivered slowly and continuously to avoid dumping symptoms. The stoma requires careful hygiene to prevent infection. Long-term jejunostomy feeding demands regular dietetic review to ensure the formula meets the patient’s changing nutritional needs.
