Roux-en-Y Bypass Gastroplasty
Under open laparotomy, a stomach section separates a 80-ml proximal gastric pouch. A jejunum section below Treitz's Angle creates an excluded gastrobiliopancreatic limb of 150cm. A Roux-in-Y retrocolic anastomosis of the alimentary limb promotes the continuity between the gastric pouch and the jejunum and a silastic ring reduces the pouch outlet.The anastomosis of the excluded limb is done 100cm below the silastic ring.
