About Nasojejunal Tube Placement

Nasojejunal tube placement is a specialized medical procedure performed by a gastroenterologist to provide direct nutritional support or medication delivery to the small intestine. This involves inserting a thin, flexible tube through the nose, down the esophagus and stomach, and into the jejunum (the middle section of the small intestine). It is typically guided using endoscopic or fluoroscopic imaging to ensure accurate positioning. This procedure is crucial for patients who cannot tolerate feeding into the stomach due to conditions like gastroparesis, pancreatitis, or after certain surgeries. It allows for safe enteral nutrition, helping maintain the patient's digestive function and overall nutritional status while bypassing the stomach.

Key Highlights

Provides direct nutritional support to the small intestine, bypassing the stomach.Enables medication delivery when oral intake is not possible.Minimally invasive procedure often performed with endoscopic guidance.Helps maintain gut integrity and function during critical illness.Can be a temporary solution until normal oral feeding is resumed.Reduces the risk of aspiration compared to nasogastric feeding./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Severe gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying).
Acute or severe pancreatitis requiring bowel rest.
Upper gastrointestinal obstructions or fistulas.
Post-operative patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding.

Reflux or aspiration if the tube moves back into the stomach.

Recovery & hospital stay

Mild sore throat or nasal discomfort is common and subsides in a day or two.
Tube feedings are started slowly, as per the dietitian's protocol.
Regular flushing of the tube with water is required to prevent blockages.
The insertion site (nostril) should be kept clean and checked for redness or irritation.
Patients and caregivers are trained on tube care, feeding administration, and problem recognition.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor nutritional status and tube function.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
