Gastroduodenostomy is a procedure in which a new connection is created between the stomach and the duodenum, often performed after a partial gastrectomy or to bypass an obstruction. This surgery allows food to pass from the stomach to the duodenum, restoring normal digestion and nutrient absorption.

The surgery is typically performed after a gastric resection due to cancer, ulcers, or other digestive issues. The new connection helps bypass the diseased part of the stomach or intestines, providing relief from symptoms such as pain or nausea.

Postoperative care involves monitoring for leakage from the surgical site, managing pain, and gradually reintroducing solid foods. Nutritional support is essential in the early recovery phase to ensure proper digestion.

Gastroduodenostomy is an effective treatment for patients who have undergone gastric resection, offering a long-term solution for restoring normal digestive function.
