Prolonged Enteral Feeding Is Often Required to Avoid Long‐term Nutritional and Metabolic Complications After Esophagogastric Dissociation

Abstract

TED is an effective procedure for treatment of GERD. However, nutritional and metabolic complications including dumping syndrome and chronic digestive malabsorption are frequent after TED, especially after enteral nutrition weaning. A long-term follow-up of these patients is thus necessary and prolonged enteral nutrition support is recommended.
