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.

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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
