What is a surgical procedure creating an opening into the jejunum?

A surgical procedure that creates an opening into the jejunum is called a jejunostomy. This procedure involves making an incision in the abdominal wall and connecting it to the jejunum, allowing for direct access to the small intestine. It is often performed to provide nutritional support for patients who cannot eat orally or to bypass certain digestive issues. Jejunostomy can be done through open surgery or laparoscopically.
