Title:Primary Placement Technique of Jejunostomy Using the Entristar
Skin-Level Gastrostomy Tube in Patients with Esophageal Cancer.
Version: 3Date:4 August 2010
Reviewer: Ciro Esposito
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting paper focused on jejunostomy placament in pts with EC.
As this paper shows, there are few devices created by companies to perform
jejunostomy, in fact the authors used a gastrostomy device in their study. Please
explain this point in the text.
As for the results section can be useful for the readers to know more info as for
your protocol of realimentation (how many hours per day ?, amount ?)
As for complications of your series, they were managed non operatively and how
? Explain better this point in the text.
Have you recorded episodes of vomit in the first post-operative period ?
Some centers prefer to perform jejunostomy via laparoscopy, what do you think
about ?
What do you think of the gastro-jejunal feeding tubes compared with the
jejunostomy tube ?
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
