The gastrectomy cripple: results of jejunal loop interposition. 1976

T B Hugh

The use of an interposed antiperistaltic jejunal loop between the stomach and the duodenum in the treatment of severe postgastrectomy nutritional disorder is described in two patients. Both patients had a gratifying return of digestive comfort and a striking increase in weight after the interposition operation. Several aspects of operative technique are described. This procedure should be considered in any patient suffering from this disorder.
