Stapled cholecystojejunostomy and gastrojejunostomy for the palliation of unresectable pancreatic carcinoma.
This technique of combined gastrojejunostomy and cholecystojejunostomy utilizing gastrointestinal staplers provides a quick, simple, safe, and effective means for palliation of biliary and duodenal obstruction occurring in patients with unresectable carcinoma of the head of the pancreas. Use of a common loop of jejunum for both biliary and gastric bypass avoids the complexities of other reported methods.
