Utility and outcomes of routine jejunostomy placement following oesophagectomy
The low rate of postoperative FJ usage and relatively high risk of associated complications suggests that a selective FJ placement strategy may have positive implications for patients over a routine placement strategy. No significant predictive factors for requiring postoperative FJ use were identified; work to define optimal feeding adjunct strategies in the postoperative context is needed.
