  • Title: Jejunal loop interposition: a remedy for failed jejunoileal bypass.
    Author: Stone KS, Dean RE, Pool LR, Scholten DJ.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1981 Mar; 47(3):131-5. PubMed ID: 7212457.
    Abstract:
    A jejunal loop interposition procedure has been developed for selected post-jejunoileal bypass patients who require repeated hospitalizations for electrolyte imbalance and malnutrition. Twelve patients have undergone interposition of an additional 6 inches of jejunum into the functional segment of bowel with excellent results. Deficiencies in serum albumin, calcium, magnesium and potassium were rapidly corrected following this operation. Desired weight was maintained, and rapid, dramatic improvement in general state of well-being was observed. No intraoperative complications were encountered and the procedure is easily performed.
