| Abstract: | Background We developed a skin-level jejunostomy tube (SLJT) procedure for patients undergoing esophagectomy using a skin-level gastrostomy
tube (G-tube) (Entristar™; Tyco Healthcare, Mansfield, Mass), in order to improve their nutrition status and quality of life
(QOL). We describe the procedure and the adverse effects of SLJT in patients with esophageal cancer (EC). |
