Twelve-Year Experience of Lester Jones Tubes—Results and Comparison of 3 Different Tube Types

Abstract

Although patient satisfaction with LJT surgery is high, complications occur frequently, although seem to be less common with the larger 4.0 mm flange. Frosted tubes do not protect against tube displacement. The addition of the internal silicone flange on the SLJT seems to prevent the previously common problem of extrusion.
