In Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, the stomach is stapled or divided to form a small pouch (typically <30 mL in volume), which empties into a Roux limb of the jejunum of varying length (typically 75-150 cm).
There are two anastomoses
- proximal gastrojejunal anastomosis
- distal jejunojejunal anastomosis
