Aim: Total gastrectomy results in the complete loss of gastric function and the development of severe postgastrectomy syndrome. During the jejunal pouch procedure following total gastrectomies, a substitute stomach is created to alleviate the effects of postgastrectomy syndrome. However, the procedure's effectiveness remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the effect of jejunal pouch creation after total gastrectomy on postoperative quality of life.
Methods: A nationwide multi-institutional cross-sectional study, the Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment study NEXT, used the Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale-45 questionnaire to explore the optimal gastrectomy procedure for cancer located in the upper third of the stomach or around the esophagogastric junction. The questionnaire consists of 45 items consolidated into 19 main outcome measures relating to postgastrectomy symptoms, amount of food ingested, quality of ingestion, ability for working, level of satisfaction for daily life, and the physical and mental component summary of the 8-Item Short Form Health Survey. Eligible completed questionnaires were retrieved from 1909 patients. Of these, the data were analyzed for 1020 patients who underwent total gastrectomy and 93 patients who underwent jejunal pouch creation after total gastrectomy.
Results: Postoperative quality of life was compared between patients with and without pouches. The analysis revealed that patients with pouches, particularly oral pouches, experienced substantially improved postoperative quality of life than those without, even after adjusting for several clinical factors using multiple regression analyses.
Conclusion: The results suggest that total gastrectomy with jejunal pouch creation, particularly oral pouches, may significantly improve postoperative quality of life.

Pernicious Pouch of Problems: A Challenging Case of Massive Hemorrhage Secondary to Jejunal Diverticular Bleeding.

Gastroenterology, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Portsmouth, USA.
Small bowel (SB) diverticulosis is an uncommon diagnosis and a rare cause of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. A particularly rare form of SB diverticular disease, jejunal diverticulosis, is usually discovered due to complications, such as hemorrhage, obstruction, or perforation. Owing in part to its rarity, jejunal diverticular bleeding can be difficult to identify and treat, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality.

Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reversal might be necessary to alleviate refractory surgical or nutritional complications, such as postprandial hypoglycemia, malnutrition, marginal ulceration, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, or excessive weight loss. The surgical technique of RYGB reversal is not standardized; potential strategies include the following: (1) gastro-gastrostomy: hand-sewn technique, linear stapler, circular stapler; (2) handling of the Roux limb: reconnection or resection (if remaining intestinal length ≥ 4 m).
Case Presentation: We demonstrate the surgical technique of a laparoscopic reversal of RYGB with hand-sewn gastro-gastrostomy and resection of the alimentary limb with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life.

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.

Introduction And Importance: Postoperative intussusception (POI) is a remarkably rare complication that may follow different types of operations. POI is responsible for 5-10 % of postoperative bowel obstruction. The main challenge in diagnosing this condition due to its nonspecific symptoms, which mimic post-op ileus.

Introduction: The one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), first published by Dr Rutledge in 1997 is now a well-established procedure in the bariatric-metabolic armamentarium. This procedure based on a (single) loop gastro-jejunal anastomosis (the biliopancreatic limb or BPL) with a long narrow gastric pouch combines restriction with hypo-absorption. The biliopancreatic limb and in particular its length is held responsible for the degree of the hypo-absorptive effect but the most appropriate or "optimal" length of the BPL remains debatable.
