A surgical operation to join the small intestine directly to the stomach so as to bypass a peptic ulcer.
Surgical creation of an artificial opening between the stomach and the small intestines performed when the normal opening has been eliminated through removal of all or part of the stomach or of part of the small intestine.
A surgical operation in which the small intestine is joined to an opening made in the stomach. The usual techniques are gastrojejunostomy and gastroduodenostomy.
An operation usually performed to relieve some obstruction to the outlet from the stomach. One opening is made in the lower part of the stomach; another in a neighbouring loop of the small intestine. The two are then stitched together.
Surgical anastomosis between the stomach and small bowel. This operation may be employed for a variety of malignant and benign gastroduodenal diseases.
The surgical intervention aimed at establishing a juncture between the stomach and the jejunum – the medial two-thirds of the diminutive intestine – occasionally complements a partial gastrectomy, the surgical excision of the lower segment of the stomach. Historically, this procedure served as a remedial measure for duodenal ulcers, but its usage in contemporary medicine is notably scarce.
A surgical procedure in which the small intestine is connected to the stomach wall to create a bypass around the duodenum.
