The SADI-S is a type of bariatric surgery with a single surgical anastomosis. It has a restrictive component when reducing the greater curvature of the stomach, but especially a malabsorptive component, as the common channel is also reduced. The objective of this surgical technique is to lessen the intestinal loop where nutrients are absorbed.
In medicine, the ileal pouch–anal anastomosis (IPAA), also known as restorative proctocolectomy (RPC), ileal-anal reservoir (IAR), an ileo-anal pouch, ileal-anal pullthrough, or sometimes referred to as a J-pouch, S-pouch, W-pouch, or a pelvic pouch, is an anastomosis of a reservoir pouch made from ileum (small intestine) to the anus, bypassing the former site of the colon in cases where the ...
Diagrammatically, the Roux-en-Y anastomosis looks a little like the letter Y. [ citation needed ] Typically, the two upper limbs of the Y represent (1) the proximal segment of stomach and the distal small bowel it joins with and (2) the blind end that is surgically divided off, and the lower part of the Y is formed by the distal small bowel ...
A surgical anastomosis is a surgical technique used to make a new connection between two body structures that carry fluid, such as blood vessels or bowel. For example, an arterial anastomosis is used in vascular bypass and a colonic anastomosis is used to restore colonic continuity after the resection of colon cancer .
The technique of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) surgery, also known as restorative procotocolectomy (RPC) consists of removal of the diseased colon and rectum, immediately followed by the creation of a surgical join (anastomosis) between the small intestine above and the anus below. The reservoir function of the rectum lost by its removal ...
Jejunojejunostomy is a surgical technique used in an anastomosis between two portions of the jejunum. [1] It is a type of bypass occurring in the intestine. It may lead to marked reduction in the functional volume of the intestine. This technique is also performed using Laparoscopic surgery. [2]
Colostomy or ileostomy is now rarely performed for rectal cancer, with surgeons usually preferring primary resection and internal anastomosis, [3] e.g. an ileo-anal pouch. In place of an external appliance , an internal ileo-anal pouch is constructed using a portion of the patient's lower intestine, to act as a new rectum to replace the removed ...
Intestinal bypass is a bariatric surgery performed on patients with morbid obesity to create an irreversible weight loss, when implementing harsh restrictions on the diets have failed. [1] Jejunocolic anastomosis was firstly employed. [2] Nonetheless, it led to some unexpected complications such as severe electrolyte imbalance and liver failure ...
