Roux-en-Y reconstruction following partial or complete gastrectomy for stomach cancer. [4] Roux-en-Y hepatico jejuno stomy used to treat (macroscopic) bile duct obstruction which may arise due to: a common bile duct tumour or hepatic duct tumour (e.g. resection of cholangiocarcinoma) [5] a bile duct injury (e.g. cholecystectomy, iatrogenic, trauma)
It has been found to produce a weight loss comparable to that of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. [18] The risk of ulcers or narrowing of the gut due to intestinal strictures is less so with sleeve gastrectomy versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, but it is not as effective at treating GERD or type 2 diabetes. [18]
The alkaline environment causes the retained gastric tissue to produce acid, which may result in ulcers in a rare complication known as retained antrum syndrome. All patients lose weight after gastrectomy, although the extent of weight loss is dependent on the extent of surgery (total gastrectomy vs partial gastrectomy) and the pre-operative BMI.
Researchers examined data on 249 extremely obese patients who had what's known as laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which reduces the stomach to a small pouch about the size of an egg.
Combined restrictive and malabsorptive techniques are called gastric bypass techniques, of which Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RGB) is the most common. In this technique, staples are used to form a pouch that is connected to the small intestine , bypassing the lower stomach, the duodenum , and the first portion of the jejunum .

The transverse colon is not shown so that the Roux-en-Y can be seen. The variant seen in this image is retro colic, retro gastric because the distal small bowel that joins the proximal segment of the stomach is behind the transverse colon and stomach. Illustration of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery
Billroth II, more formally Billroth's operation II, is an operation in which a partial gastrectomy (removal of the stomach) is performed and the cut end of the stomach is closed. The greater curvature of the stomach (not involved with the previous closure of the stomach) is then connected to the first part of the jejunum in end-to-side anastomosis.
