Regarding feeding routes, the nutritional balance in patients
with NCJ was significantly higher than in the group with nasojejunal
tube (97.1% vs. 91.6%; p < 0.0001; Fig. 2). Major complications
did not differ between patients with NCJ or nasojejunal tubes
(22.9% vs 20.6%; p ¼ 0.5192). However, one small bowel resection
due to a jejunal fistula, whichwas related to an NCJ, (1.4%) had to be
performed. Neither the application of preoperative immunonutrition
nor the occurrence of preoperative malnutrition (NRS 3)
was significantly associated with clinical outcome (Table 4).
