Brief Summary  

According to Mastoridis et al.’s (2021) retrospective study, laparoscopic feeding jejunostomy is a feasible and safe procedure that provides the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. Since the first reported totally laparoscopic feeding jejunostomy, several techniques for laparoscopic feeding jejunostomy have been described. Most of them used costly commercial kits and complex suturing techniques. However, there is no standard technique proposed for the creation of laparoscopic FJ. Thus, there is a need to simplify this technique in a way that reduces the learning curve and makes it cost-effective without increasing complications.
