Abstract

The Roux-en-Y type of gastrointestinal anastomosis, originated by the Swiss surgeon César Roux, is a valuable technique used in drainage of the stomach, esophagus, and the pancreatico-biliary tree. It is now frequently used in reconstructing the GI tract after resections for a number of diseases, and known by the general public due to its importance in bariatric surgery. This article presents, along with a brief biographical sketch, an English translation and discussion of Roux’s original 1893 French report on gastrointestinal surgery that was published in Revue de Chirurgie.
