Parenteral nutrition (PN) carries additional risks in neonates. Feeding jejunostomy (FJ) provides an alternative enteral route that bypasses the anastomosis, but data remain limited.

Ten\u00a0FJ procedures were performed (3 prophylactically) and were technically successful with no intraoperative or major postoperative complications. One patient (10%) had a minor FJ catheter occlusion managed by bedside catheter exchange without interruption of enteral nutrition. No major FJ\u2010related complications occurred. Among 6 FJ\u2010managed AL patients, the median time from FJ placement to radiologic leak closure was 9 days (range 6\u201314). Full enteral nutrition was achieved at a median of 3 days (range 2\u20134) in all FJ patients. No FJ patient developed new\u2010onset cholestasis or central line\u2013associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). The 3 transfers (median PN 30 days; range 28\u201333) had pre\u2010existing cholestasis and\/or CLABSI at presentation; all improved after FJ placement and enteral feeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this descriptive cohort, FJ was feasible and safe, enabling rapid full enteral nutrition in neonates with complicated EA, including those with AL.
