Background: Motility disturbances in the Roux loop can negatively influence the outcome of reflux gastritis; the uncut Roux loop does not have these disadvantages, but is less suitable for clinical application because of staple dehiscence. The reported "cut-closed-reconnected" Roux loop has the same physiological starting points as the uncut Roux loop, but a difference is an extra closure at the site of the seromuscular level.
Method: The technique of the cut-closed-reconnected Roux loop is described.
Results: After 1 year, the clinical findings in 8 patients were as follows: 1 patient free of symptoms, 4 with gastric pain, 2 patients vomited (1 bilious), and 1 felt fullness.
Conclusion: Dehiscence of the closure could not be demonstrated by endoscopy, barium contrast roentgenography, and HIDA scan.

Background: Candy cane syndrome (CCS) is a rare complication of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). It occurs due to redundancy in the blind loop at the gastro-jejunal anastomosis.
Objective: To evaluate the type of symptoms, anatomic and functional findings, and outcome after treatment.
Background: There are several surgical options each with their potential for complications, differences in length of procedure, and in meaningful outcomes. This study aims to explore those outcomes after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and Loop Duodenal Switch (LDS).
Objective: The purpose of this project is to offer a comparative analysis of RYGB and LDS at the NorthShore University Health System for up to 4 years postoperatively.
