Laparoscopic feeding jejunostomy has been performed and reported by others. The need for jejunostomy in certain patient populations, namely, patients with advanced head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, or stomach cancer, is well accepted. This has led to numerous open techniques and now laparoscopic techniques. We describe in this report a new way of performing a laparoscopic jejunostomy and include intraoperative photographs.
