The name is derived from the surgeon who first described it (César Roux) [1] and the stick-figure representation. Diagrammatically, the Roux-en-Y anastomosis looks a little like the letter Y.
Jejunostomy is the surgical creation of an opening (stoma) through the skin at the front of the abdomen and the wall of the jejunum (part of the small intestine).It can be performed either endoscopically, or with open surgery.
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]
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.
A gastrojejunostomy, or GJ feeding tube, is a combination device that includes access to both the stomach and the jejunum, or middle part of the small intestine. Typical tubes are placed in a G-tube site or stoma, with a narrower long tube continuing through the stomach and into the small intestine.
Gastroenterostomy, anastomosis of gastric cardia to jejunum. A gastroenterostomy is the surgical creation of a connection between the stomach and the jejunum.The operation can sometimes be performed at the same time as a partial gastrectomy (the removal of part of the stomach).
Numerous studies show that the loop reconstruction (Billroth II gastrojejunostomy) works more safely when placed low on the stomach, but can be a disaster when placed adjacent to the esophagus. Today thousands of "loops" are used for surgical procedures to treat gastric problems such as ulcers, stomach cancer, and injury to the stomach.
The loop should be long enough and should have a Braun jejunojejunostomy between the ascending and the descending loop. [9] The last 4 to 5 cm of the stapler line towards the greater curvature should be excised with the help of an electrocautery device in order to form a slim opening for the subsequent gastrojejunostomy.
