AB  - Enterostomy  in  the  high  jejunum  may  be  used  for  feeding  purposes  in  malnourished  patients  either  before  or  after  major  surgical  procedures.  Enterostomy  in  the  low  ileum  may  be  clinically  indicated  in  the  presence  of  adynamic  ileus  when  intubation  and  other  methods  of  bowel  decompression  have  failed  to  relieve  the  obstruction  or  when  the  patient's  condition  will  not  permit  removal  of  the  cause.  Enterostomy  also  may  be  done  to  decompress  the  gastrointestinal  (GI)  tract  proximal  to  the  point  of  major  resection  and  anastomosis  or  to  decompress  the  stomach  indirectly  after  gastric  resection  by  directing  a  long  tube  in  a  retrograde  fashion  back  into  the  stomach.  Bile,  pancreatic  juice,  and  gastric  juice  lost  from  intubation  or  a  fistula  can  be  re-fed  through  the  tube.
