    Abstract:
    The use of an interposed antiperistaltic jejunal loop between the stomach and the duodenum in the treatment of severe postgastrectomy nutritional disorder is described in two patients. Both patients had a gratifying return of digestive comfort and a striking increase in weight after the interposition operation. Several aspects of operative technique are described. This procedure should be considered in any patient suffering from this disorder.
