The button jejunostomy provides long term access for jejunal feedings incorporating the benefits of the gastrostomy button device. Although this procedure requires a celiotomy, we believe the relative simplicity of the procedure and its advantages over other types of jejunostomies warrant its use in patients with clinically significant gastroesophageal reflux who require long term enteral nutrition.
