Oesophagojejunal anastomosis after total gastrectomy.
Techniques of oesophagojejunal anastomosis were studied in chacma baboons (Papio ursinus ursinus). End-to-end anastomosis utilizing a Roux-en-Y loop and interrupted silk sutures gave the best results. End-to-end anastomosis performed in 3 animals resulted in jejunal volvulus.
