Jejunotomy

Jejunotomy is a surgical operation consisting of dissecting the jejunum to examine its contents or remove any foreign bodies from it.

During a jejunotomy, a small incision is made in the abdomen. The surgeon then finds the jejunum and makes a small hole in it. Through this opening, you can obtain a sample of the intestinal contents for analysis or remove any foreign objects that are stuck in the intestinal lumen.

Indications for jejunotomy include obstruction of the jejunum due to a tumor, scar changes or foreign bodies, as well as the need to obtain material for a biopsy or diagnostic study.

After completion of the manipulations, the incision in the jejunum is sutured and the abdominal cavity is closed. Jejunotomy is usually performed under general anesthesia and requires follow-up to monitor for possible complications. Complications include bleeding, infection, and intestinal suture failure. With timely treatment, the prognosis after jejunotomy is usually favorable.

Jejunotomy (Jejunotomy) is a surgical operation that involves cutting the small intestine to examine its contents and treat diseases. The small intestine is located in the abdominal cavity, between the stomach and large intestine, and is one of the main organs of the digestive system.

Jejunotomy can be performed to diagnose various diseases, such as intestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, neoplasms, ulcers and others. During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision in the patient's abdomen and then examines the contents of the small intestine. This may include looking for foreign bodies, testing for tumors, checking for ulcers and other changes.

Once the contents of the small intestine have been examined, the surgeon can decide on treatment. If a foreign body is found, it can be removed. If tumors or ulcers are found, they may be removed or treated. Once the surgery is completed, the incision is closed and the patient returns to the hospital for further treatment.

Although a jejunotomy is a major surgical procedure, it may be necessary to treat many conditions. It is performed by experienced surgeons and requires careful preparation on the part of both the patient and the medical staff.

Jejunotomy is one of the most common procedures in medicine. This procedure is a surgical intervention on the jejunum, which allows you to examine the contents of the intestine and carry out some manipulations. This operation is the only way to remove foreign bodies from the intestines if they cannot be removed by other means.
