A surgical operation to make an artificial link between the jejunum and the ileum.
An operation in which the jejunum is joined to the ileum (small intestine), when either the end of the jejunum or the beginning of the ileum has been removed or is to be bypassed. It is usually performed for intestinal disease (e.g. Crohn’s disease) but sometimes for the treatment of obesity.
A surgical procedure where the jejunum is connected to the ileum, with a segment of the intestine between them being excised.
