Abstract

The technique of “small bowel limb transposition” consists in leaving the gastro-jejunal anastomosis (GJA) intact. It involves stapling (sectioning) of the alimentary limb (AL) at the level of the gastric antrum and creating a new anastomosis between the AL and the antrum. The “small bowel limb transposition” is an easy, simple, and interesting technique to be performed for the correction and treatment of severe malnutrition after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, but this single case is not sufficient to prove that this is a standard option.
