Of these, 96/165 underwent endoscopic placement either using Direct Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy (DPEJ) (14/96) or through Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy with Jejunal Extension (PEG-J) (82/96), and the remaining 69/165 underwent surgical placement either via a surgical flange (SF) tube (45/69) or the surgical Witzel (SW) technique (18/69). Idiopathic gastroparesis as an indication for JT placement (including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome patients) affected 63.8 % of the surgical and 42.7 % of the endoscopic cohorts. At mean follow up of almost 17 months, the overall need for re-intervention, JT dislodgment and JT occlusion were 32.4 %, 8.8 % and 14.7 % in the surgical cohort, versus 62.8 %, 25.5 % and 27.7 % in the endoscopic cohort (p values of 0.0002, 0.0075 and 0.057, respectively). Individual re-intervention rates were 38.9 % for SW, 31.1 % for SF, 61 % for PEG-J and 64.3 % for DPEJ.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Surgical siting of JT demonstrates significantly reduced dislodgement rates, and requirement for re-intervention in the long-term as compared to endoscopic JT placement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10352,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nutrition ESPEN","volume":"67 ","pages":"Pages 447-452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143729051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
