Surgical access for nutrition is required in a variety of pediatric disorders. In some, the presence of gastroesophageal reflux, poor gastric emptying, and risks for fundoplication favor the use of a jejunostomy. The significant problems associated with the simple loop jejunostomy can be avoided by using the Roux-en-Y configuration. The stoma can be fashioned either Brook-style (intubatable) or Stamm-style (modified Maydl, permanently intubated). Both types are used at the authors' institution and are compared in this retrospective review. During a 27-month period, 22 Roux-en-Y jejunostomies were performed; nine of them had the Brook-style stoma and 13 had the modified Maydl stoma. Significant complications requiring reoperation occurred in three (33%) patients with a Brook-style jejunostomy: prolapse, leakage, and perforation of the stoma. None of the patients with modified Maydl jejunostomies required reoperation; problems were encountered more with the care of the permanently intubated stoma. Therefore, our preferred choice for a feeding jejunostomy is the modified Maydl approach.
