The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. There are two primary methods:
1. Open Surgery: An incision is made in the abdomen to directly access the jejunum. 2. Laparoscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a camera to guide the procedure.
The surgeon creates a stoma (an artificial opening) and inserts a feeding tube into the jejunum. This tube allows for the direct administration of nutrition and medications.
