Gastrojejunostomy

Gastrojejunostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an anastomosis (connection) between the stomach and the first part of the small intestine (jejunum).

The purpose of the operation is to create a bypass for the exit of stomach contents into the intestine, bypassing the pylorus and the initial part of the duodenum. This allows you to bypass the area of ​​obstruction (obstruction) or narrowing of the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract.

Gastrojejunostomy is most often performed for peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, complicated by penetration, stenosis or cicatricial narrowing of the pylorus and duodenal bulb. Stomach or duodenal cancer may also be an indication for surgery.

During the operation, the surgeon creates an anastomosis between the greater curvature of the stomach and the initial part of the jejunum. This allows you to avoid the area of ​​stenosis and restore normal passage of food through the intestines. Gastrojejunostomy can be performed either open or laparoscopically.

Gastrojejunotomy is a surgical operation aimed at connecting the stomach and small intestine. This operation is one of the options for surgical treatment of gastric or duodenal ulcers, and is also used to treat malignant tumors of the stomach. To date, this operation is performed quite rarely, usually in more severe cases. The effectiveness of gastrojejunotomy is about 80-95%. It should also be noted that gastrojejunotomy is one of the few operations that are associated with the highest mortality rate. The average number of deaths in patients who underwent gastrojejunotomy surgery is above thirty. If it is necessary to perform a gastrojejunotomy intervention, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth diagnostic examination, conduct a series of tests to assess the general condition of the patient, and only then proceed to consultation with specialists and determine the need for this surgical intervention. Today, gastrojejunotoxiam is carried out using endoscopic technologies. The operation is performed through a small hole in the abdominal wall - laparoscopically, with the camera entering the abdominal cavity using a laparoscope. During this operation, minor or insignificant injuries do not occur in patients, at the same time, a minimal risk of mortality can be obtained with a careful and careful approach by doctors. Within a few hours after the end of the surgical intervention, the patient can already engage in his usual physical activity, and can be discharged at home with nutritional recommendations. Working capacity after a gastroeutrotomy can be fully preserved, but subject to strict adherence to all instructions and recommendations of the attending physician. No exotic diets or health systems will be beneficial if used without consultation and prescription from a doctor. All diseases require timely and professional treatment - seek help.
