About Open Duodenojejunostomy

Open Duodenojejunostomy is a major abdominal surgery performed by a Surgical Gastroenterologist to create a new connection (anastomosis) between the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) and the jejunum (the second part). This procedure is typically indicated to bypass a blockage or stricture in the duodenum, often caused by conditions like chronic pancreatitis, tumors, or scarring from ulcers. During the open surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen to directly access the digestive tract, carefully connects the healthy segments of intestine, and ensures proper flow of digestive contents. It is a definitive treatment for restoring normal digestive function and relieving symptoms such as severe nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain when other interventions are not suitable.

Key Highlights

    Definitively bypasses obstructions or strictures in the duodenum.Restores normal digestive tract continuity and function.Provides long-term relief from debilitating symptoms like vomiting and pain.Performed by specialized Surgical Gastroenterologists with expertise in complex abdominal anatomy.Offers a solution when endoscopic or less invasive procedures are not feasible.
