Gastrojejunostomy

A surgical operation to join the jejunum to the stomach.


Known as the Billroth II procedure, in which a connection between the stomach and the jejunum is surgically created.


A surgically created connection between the stomach and small intestine that is specifically designed to bypass the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine into which the stomach empties). A surgeon performs a gastrojejunostomy to prevent gastric acid from causing further irritation to a duodenal ulcer.


A surgical operation in which the jejunum is joined to an opening made in the stomach. This is done in preference to gastroduodenostomy if the latter operation is technically difficult or in special operations to avoid a backflow of bile into the stomach.


A connection, usually constructed surgically, between the stomach and the jejunum.


In the realm of surgical interventions, there exists a procedure whereby the stomach undergoes a surgical union with the jejunum, which happens to be the intermediary segment nestled within the small intestine.


A surgical procedure that connects the jejunum to the stomach, allowing food to travel directly from the stomach into the jejunum.
