Resumen
GONZALEZ, Mauricio A. et al. Necrosis and intestinal perforation associated with feed ing by jejunostomy. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2024, vol.84, n.2, pp.333-336. ISSN 0025-7680.
Enteral nutrition through jejunostomy is a common practice in any general surgery service; it carries a low risk of complications and morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a patient with an immediate history of subtotal gastrectomy that began nutrition through jejunostomy and complicated with intestinal necrosis due to non-occlusive ischemia in the short period. The purpose of this work is to report on this complication, its pathophysiology and risk factors to take it into account and be able to take appropriate therapeutic action early.
