A total of 169 patients who had jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity were available for study more than 24 months after operation. Continuing high morbidity, especially "the bloats" and the regaining of weight, are arguments against the use of jejunoileal bypass unless clear medical indications exist.
The techniques using the EEA stapler for gastroesophageal anastomoses are described. The instrument saves time, in our opinion, and creates a better anastomosis, which can be inspected under direct vision. No intra- or postoperative complications were noted in this small group of patients.
