A '''gastrojejunostomy''' is the surgical creation of a connection between the [[stomach]] and the [[jejunum]]. The operation can sometimes be performed at the same time as a partial [[gastrectomy]] (the removal of part of the stomach). Gastrojejunostomy was in the past typically performed to treat [[peptic ulcer]]s, but today is usually carried out to enable food to pass directly to the middle section of the [[small intestine]], bypassing the damaged first section of the small intestine [[duodenum]]. The procedure is still being used to treat refractory gastroparesis but is now rarely used to treat peptic ulcer disease [[Peptic ulcer|ulcers]] as most cases are bacterial in nature and there are many new drugs available to treat the gastric reflux often experienced with peptic ulcer disease. At least 80% of peptic ulcers are caused by the bacteria H. pylori, and are therefore treated with combination antibiotic therapy (references pending). | |||
