  • Title: Conversion of malfunctioning intestinal bypass to gastric bypass.
    Author: Saporta JA, Cegielski MM, Organ CH.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1980 Dec; 151(6):801-2. PubMed ID: 7444733.
    Abstract:
    Of 150 patients in whom jejunoileal bypass was performed for the treatment of morbid obesity, the intestinal bypass was converted to a gastric bypass in nine individuals. The indications for conversion have been weight regain, inadequate weight loss or pathologic hyperoxaluria with recurrent kidney stone formation. In all of our patients, dismantling of the jejunoileostomy and the gastric procedure was done simultaneously.
