[Nutritional and defunctionalized jejunostomy in the chemotherapeutic treatment of gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Preliminary experience].
The authors propose a jejunostomy on an omega loop distal to the Treitz ligament as a treatment for unresectable gastric lymphomas. The rationale is to provide nutritional support during chemotherapy in a situation when the stomach is defunctionalised. As assessed by clinical, morphological and biological parameters, the association of chemotherapy and jejunostomy may represent a valid therapeutical strategy for patients considered unresectable.
