Abstract
To investigate the technological innovation, safety, operational advantages, and clinical application value of direct percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided enterostomy. This retrospective study included patients who underwent direct percutaneous CT-guided enterostomy (n = 52), percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J, n = 39), or laparoscopic jejunostomy (n = 68) at Fujian Provincial Hospital between October 2019 and July 2021. The study indices included stoma surgery success rate, operation time, complication rate, and postoperative pain score. We concurrently analyzed the technological innovation of direct percutaneous CT-guided enterostomy and the changes in body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, prealbumin, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) scores after patients received 2 months of nutritional support. Direct percutaneous CT-guided enterostomy had a high success rate (100%) and low postoperative complication rate (5.77%). Compared to laparoscopic jejunostomy, direct percutaneous CT-guided enterostomy had a shorter operation time (36.92 ± 10.60) minutes, lower postoperative pain score (4.06 ± 2.02), lower anesthesia risk, and lower operative cost. The anesthetic risk for direct percutaneous CT-guided enterostomy is lower than that for PEG-J and has wider applications. After 2 months of postoperative nutritional support, patients had increased BMI, serum albumin level, and serum prealbumin level and decreased PG-SGA scores and CRP level with statistically significant differences compared to the preoperative state ( p < 0.05). Direct percutaneous CT-guided enterostomy is an important method of establishing an enteral nutrition therapy pathway, especially when endoscopic jejunostomy is not possible. It has a high safety profile and few complications, has unique advantages, and deserves further promotion of its application in clinical practice.
