title: An alternative to Roux-en-Y for treatment of bile reflux gastritis.
abstract: Exclusion jejunoduodenostomy has been successfully used as the primary operation in five patients with severe bile reflux gastritis and in one patient with disabling Roux-en-Y syndrome. The operation is simple to perform, requires one anastomosis and appears to eliminate bile reflux gastritis and avoid potential emptying complications associated with the Roux-en-Y segment.
