Brief summary

Curative treatment of upper gastrointestinal tract neoplasms is complex and associated with high morbidity and mortality. In general, the patients are already malnourished, and early postoperative enteral nutrition is recommended. However, there is no consensus concerning the best enteral access route in these cases.

Detailed description

A prospective randomized trial with patients undergoing esophagectomy, total gastrectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy to asses the outcomes of either jejunostomy placement or catheter placement
