What effect does jejunostomy have

summary

My father is a worker. He often goes out early and comes back late. He can't eat three meals on time. He is black and thin. During this time, he said that he had a stomachache and was sent to the hospital. Only then did he know that he had advanced esophageal cancer and had a jejunostomy. Now he has a good recovery. Now let's talk about the role of jejunostomy.

What effect does jejunostomy have

First, jejunostomy is a kind of temporary partial colostomy, which is mostly used for intubation. It is suitable for patients with pyloric obstruction, duodenal fistula, gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, malnutrition or esophageal stenosis, inability to eat, systemic malnutrition, and stenosis can not be removed by surgery or other symptoms.

Second, there are many methods of colostomy, but they can be divided into two categories: temporary colostomy and permanent colostomy, which can be selected according to the nature of the patient's disease and the prognosis. The patient is now weak and cannot eat normally to attract nutrition, so such measures are needed. After recovery and removal, gastric function will be restored gradually.

Third, jejunostomy can make full use of the digestion and absorption function of the small intestine and provide enteral nutrition support, which is more in line with physiological function. At the same time, it can also prevent gastrointestinal mucosal atrophy and intestinal flora imbalance and displacement. The distal end of the fistula can prevent the reflux of enteral nutrition.

matters needing attention

After jejunostomy, family members should observe the patient's condition, such as observing whether there is bleeding in the wound, keeping the dressing clean and dry, observing the recovery of intestinal function, when the abdominal distension disappears, and the nature of the liquid from the stoma.
