Abstract Background Pneumatosis intestinalis has long been a marker of advanced bowel ischemia and prompts urgent laparotomy. In post-operative settings, the presence of pneumatosis represents a significant management dilemma. We share a case-series of post-esophagectomy patients with pneumatosis intestinalis and no corollary intra-abdominal pathologic findings on re-exploration. Methods January 2000 to December 2017, 1760 patients underwent Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy or gastrectomy with jejunostomy-tube placement. Charts were reviewed retrospectively to identify patients with pneumatosis intestinalis discovered in the post-operative period. Demographic data, operative details and postoperative course were reviewed including incidence and details of re-exploration. Results Eleven patients met inclusion criteria. Nine were male (81.8%) and mean age was 69 years. All patients had radiographic confirmation of pneumatosis intestinalis and in many cases portal venous gas (Figure 1). Clinical course was variable without discernable trends in vitals or laboratory values. Development of significant postoperative ileus along with delivery of enteral tube feeds through a jejunostomy tube preceded development of the pneumatosis in all patients. Nine patients were re-explored and none had evidence of bowel ischemia. Conclusion The finding of pneumatosis intestinalis in the post-operative setting can be alarming and pose a management dilemma. With the advent of improved and readily available imaging, there has been an increase in findings that have no corollary physical symptomatology. In this series of patients, despite dramatic radiographic findings, none had ischemic bowel. Pneumatosis intestinalis alone in patients who have undergone esophagectomy should not be considered an indication for emergency re-exploration.

Laparoscopic Jejunostomy

Background: Laparoscopic enteral-feeding access is the best option for patients with advanced upper gastrointestinal, oropharyngeal, and laryngeal cancers needing to maintain their caloric intake before surgery or during chemoradiotherapy. Methods: During a laparoscopic procedure by a cystostomy catheter system, a jejunostomy tube was placed for 14 patients. All the patients had a 2-month follow-up for complications and performance of the feeding system. Results: Based on the obtained results, there was no internal leak and peritonitis among the subjects. One patient converted to an open procedure due to perforation during the procedure. In three patients, the extraction of the catheter was encountered during the follow-up period and a replacement was required. One case of wound infection and one case of catheter obstruction occurred among the subjects. Catheter obstruction was easily resolved using warm water and pancreatic enzyme irrigation. There was one patient with partial intestinal obstruction who was managed through nonoperative means. No significant bleeding was encountered during the surgery. Conclusion: Laparoscopic jejunostomy with this method is simple and cost-effective and can be performed within an acceptable timeframe with minimum complications. It is the procedure of choice for upper GI and laryngeal cancer patients, those at increased risk of aspiration, and subjects not candidates of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. Reference

Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a common disease. Most patients are effectively treated with conservative measures, but gastric feeding and, rarely, post-pyloric feeding can be necessary. A 27-year-old woman, G3P2002, with a history of refractory hyperemesis in previous pregnancies, required placement of a nasojejunal tube but was removed due to an oropharyngeal ulcer. Endoscopic placement of a percutaneous endoscopic transgastric-jejunostomy (PEG-J) tube caused resolution of her symptoms. Twelve days after placement, the distal tube became dislodged and was endoscopically replaced with hemoclip anchoring in the jejunum. PEG-J tube placement is a safe and effective option for nutritional support in refractory hyperemesis gravidarum.
