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)
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.
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.

Partial gastrectomy with posterior gastrojejunostomy, a modification of the Billroth II operation: Polya's operation at Who Named It? Ramstedt's pyloromyotomy Wilhelm Ramstedt Upper gastrointestinal surgery: Splits hypertrophic muscle and leaves mucosa intact in Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis [1] Roux-en-Y anastomosis: César Roux
Antecolic antegastric Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery has been estimated to result in internal hernia in 0.2% of cases, mainly through Petersen's defect. [ journal 8 ] An incisional hernia occurs when a surgical incision does not heal well; the muscles of the abdomen separate and allow protrusion of a sac-like membrane, which may contain bowel ...
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 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.
Billroth I, more formally Billroth's operation I, is an operation in which the pylorus is removed and the distal stomach is anastomosed directly to the duodenum. [1] [2]The operation is most closely associated with Theodor Billroth, but was first described by Polish surgeon Ludwik Rydygier.
