Abstract
This review aimed to summarize the basic research on and clinical applications of uncut Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy. We reviewed the available literature on uncut Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy, which is a modification of the Billroth IIwith Braun’s anastomosis in which a jejuna occlusion is fashioned to avoid Roux stasis syndrome. In this paper, we present the findings of our literature review. The original uncut technique was associated with dehiscence or recanalization of the jejunal occlusion, and was therefore not widely applied. However, with recent improvements in the method of jejunal occlusion, the uncut Roux-en-Y reconstruction may be an appropriate alternative for digestive tract reconstruction after distal gastrectomy. The uncut Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy is a controversial yet promising method of gastrointestinal reconstruction after distal gastrectomy.
