Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy with Jejunal Extension for an Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis Refractory to Surgical Enterolysis

Abstract: Surgical enterolysis is the final option for patients with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS). However, EPS is sometimes refractory to surgical enterolysis. This is the first report of successful use of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension (PEG-J) in a patient with EPS that was refractory to surgical enterolysis. We propose that sustained drainage of digestive juices by PEG-J, along with central venous nourishment at home, can be a treatment option for patients with EPS that cannot … Show more

“…We also experienced patients where the symptoms of intestinal obstruction were not ameliorated by narrowing of the anastomotic site and kinking of the small intestine of the oral side. In that case, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and/or jejunal extension was carried out and managed with TPN at home (18). Based on our experiences, we recognize that enterolysis in EPS differs depending on individual patient characteristics, including various factors such as grade of peritoneal deterioration, calcification, and adhesion range.…”

“…Although the surgical technique is simple, it is necessary to perform careful procedures involving only the division of peritoneal adhesions by repeated lysis of fibrin membranes with sharp instruments such as Metzenbaum scissors and surgical scalpel, especially for severe adhesions with a retracted mesentery and calcification. However, EPS is occasionally refractory to surgical enterolysis due to intraperitoneal complications (3).…”

“…This approach would offer the benefit of postpyloric enteral feeding while simultaneously being able to decompress the stomach. Reports of a PEG with jejunal extension (PEG-JET) have even been reported as palliative enteral decompression while providing parenteral nutrition by Banshonandi et al 32 Patients with significant gastroesophageal reflux, history of reflux of gastric tube feed content, repeated aspiration events, gastroparesis, and malignant gastric outlet obstruction not amenable to resection or stenting are potential beneficiaries of this approach. Unfortunately, this approach has a limited clinical role as it is fraught with a high reported failure rate of 27 to 84% of the feeding catheter as it dislodges frequently back into the stomach.…”
