New type of jejunal interposition method after gastrectomy.

Background: Total and subtotal gastrectomies are methods of choice in surgical treatment of gastric cancer. These ablative operations eliminate the gastric reservoir and severely alter digestive physiology.

Methods: We have created a unique method of reconstruction of "the jejunal pouch" following gastrectomy using the first loop of the jejunum together with the formation of antireflux anastomosis.
