After any form of esophageal replacement surgery, as well as optionally in gastrectomy or hiatal extended gastrectomy, it is recommended to insert a jejunal feeding tube. This allows any suture insufficiencies, e.g., of the esophagus, to be bridged postoperatively. In cases of protracted convalescence, an additional enteral nutrition option is available.
