  • Title: [Stomach replacement by iso-anisoperistaltic jejunum interposition (Tübinger replacement stomach)].
    Author: Kieninger G, Koslowski L, Kummer D.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1981 Aug; 52(8):505-10. PubMed ID: 7023865.
    Abstract:
    Since 1972 we have been using a new method of gastric replacement which was developed at our hospital. The reconstruction of passage is achieved by iso-anisoperistaltic interposition of two jejunal segments (30:10 cm). The reversed segment causes delayed and intermittent emptying of the above located isoperistaltic segment. Until now this type of gastric replacement has been performed in 62 patients. Postoperative mortality was 11.3%; so far the longest survival time is nearly 8 years. By the reservoir function of the jejunal interposition digestion and absorption are essentially improved, resulting in a better quality of life for the patient. This type of gastric replacement is now used as a routine in all curative gastrectomies, provided there are no contraindications on account of the patient's age or general condition.
