A Trial of the Jejunal Diversion Procedure

The jejuno-jejunostomy surgical procedure is a well-known general surgical operation performed for multiple acute and chronic conditions including Crohn's disease, ovarian cancer, and small bowel obstruction. The jejunal diversion procedure is an adaptation of a jejuno-jejunostomy. The proximal end of the anastomosis is approximately 100 cm distal from the ligament of Treitz. The distal end of the anastomosis is approximately 250 cm proximal from the ileocecal junction.
