Abstract:
Methods of restoring continuity after total gastrectomy, particularly those creating a "reservoir," have led to many publications over the last 20 years. These publications are herein reviewed in an attempt to answer questions regarding the clinical value of a jejunal "reservoir". The conclusion we reached from this review was that such a reconstruction does reduce unpleasant symptoms, aids weight maintenance, and is a valuable operative approach.
