A jejunostomy may be formed following bowel resection in cases where there is a need to bypass the distal small bowel and/or colon due to a bowel leak or perforation. Depending on the length of jejunum resected or bypassed the patient may have resultant short bowel syndrome and require parenteral nutrition. [2]
Short bowel syndrome in adults and children is most commonly caused by surgery (intestinal resection). [4] In those who undergo intestinal resection, approximately 15% eventually develop small bowel syndrome (75% of those due to 1 large resection and 25% due to multiple separate intestinal resections). [4] This surgery may be done for:
A bowel resection or enterectomy (enter-+ -ectomy) is a surgical procedure in which a part of an intestine (bowel) is removed, from either the small intestine or large intestine. Often the word enterectomy is reserved for the sense of small bowel resection, in distinction from colectomy , which covers the sense of large bowel resection.

When the resection is complete, the surgeon has the option of reconnecting the bowel by stitching or stapling together the cut ends of the bowel (primary anastomosis) or performing a colostomy to create a stoma, an opening of the bowel to the abdominal wall that provides an alternate exit for the contents of the gastrointestinal tract. [1]
In general surgery, a Roux-en-Y anastomosis, or Roux-en-Y, is an end-to-side surgical anastomosis of bowel used to reconstruct the gastrointestinal tract. Typically, it is between stomach and small bowel that is distal (or further down the gastrointestinal tract) from the cut end. [1]
