Jejunal Mucosal Appearances after Total Gastrectomy.

Faecal fat and body weight changes following Roux-en-Y and jejunal loop interposition reconstructive technique in total gastrectomized dogs

Total gastrectomy is one of the most common operative procedures for gastric malignancy, but therecommended method of gastrointestinal reconstruction after gastrectomy is still controversial. Significantweight loss has been noted by many observers following gastrectomy. The Roux-en-Y method is the mostfrequent reconstructive technique performed after gastrectomy. This technique is easy to perfo...

Results of reconstruction with jejunal pouch after gastrectomy: correlation with gastrointestinal motor activity.

BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate if restoration of esophago-intestinal or esophago-gastric continuity with a jejunal pouch after total or proximal gastrectomy has clinical benefits. METHODS We reviewed all relevant reports published after 1990 that dealt with the clinical results of reconstruction with a jejunal pouch after total and proximal gastrectomies and correlated those findings with res...

Comparative Endoscopic Evaluation of Reconstructive Roux-en-Y With Jejunal Loop Interposition Following Gastrectomy in Dogs

Objective-  Comparative endoscopic evaluation of two reconstructive methods (R&Y and jejunal loop interposition) after gastrectomy in dogs. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Ten healthy male dogs. Procedures- The animals were divided randomly in two groups. After a 12 hour food with hold and under general anesthesia laparotomy is performed in all dogs. In group A (R&Y), after dissectio...

Electrogastrographic activity in patients who received proximal gastrectomy plus jejunal interposition or total gastrectomy plus jejunal interposition.

Electrogastrograms (EGGs) were recorded in patients both before and after receiving proximal gastrectomy plus jejunal interposition (PGJI) or just after receiving total gastrectomy plus jejunal interposition (TGJI). Intraluminal pressure was also recorded in some postoperative patients. The EGG 3 cpm component (2.5-4.9 cpm) remained after PGJI, but subsequently decreased with a significant redu...
