  • Title: [Antiperistaltic duodenojejunal pouch in the reconstruction of digestive transit after subtotal, total gastrectomy and in the postgastrectomy syndrome. Technic].
    Author: Safatle NF.

    Abstract:
    A new technic for reconstruction of the digestive tract after total and subtotal gastrectomy in patients with BII postgastrectomy syndrome is proposed. This technic is based on: 1) the to-and-from motion of the barium inside the duodenal arch, and 2) the duodenogastric reflux, both observed in X-ray examinations in normal and in patients bearing gastroduodenal ulcers. The advantage of this technic is to associate the inverted Y en Roux with an interposition of a small bowel segment, besides a reservoir with dynamic function which is obtained using the duodenal arch, as well as 10 cm of jejunum, where the ingested food is mixed with the digestive secretions and is eliminated with antiperistalsis, without stasis. From 1977 to 1983, 36 patients were operated on with the above mentioned technic. Ten of them were admitted to total gastrectomy, 16 to subtotal gastrectomy, 7 to minimal radical gastrectomy and three to postgastrectomy syndrome.
