An immobile postsurgical nasojejunal tube: a case for King Arthur!

Rui Morais, Margarida Marques, Susana Rodrigues, Guilherme Macedo,

Abstract
A patient was referred to an Endoscopy Unit for removal of a nasojejunal feeding tube that was previously inserted one week before during gastric surgery. Upper endoscopy revealed the nasojejunal tube sutured to the gastric wall and it was then removed with hot biopsy forceps. This case represents an uncommon complication of gastric surgery and highlights that a nasojejunal feeding tube should only be positioned after the suturing procedures and the mobility of the tube should always be tested during surgery.
