Although it is life-saving, it may adversely affect the patientĄŻs metabolic status and renal function. Consequentially an emergency jejunostomy should be a temporary measure and should be closed as early as possible. We present a unique case where the creation of §Ń temporary loop jejunostomy was indicated. To prevent acute renal failure, we re-infused the stoma effluent into its distal limb through a Foley catheter. The latter was implanted subcutaneously which allowed us to re-feed the stoma without disturbing the appliance seal. The patient recovered on oral intake without the use of total parenteral nutrition. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmcr/9/1/22/ajmcr-9-1-22.pdf jejunostomy diverting high output re-infusion implanted catheter
