Abstract
An anastomosis between the stomach and the ileum instead of a proximal jejunal loop is a rare but well-known complication of gastric surgery (Fig. 50). The error in choosing a wrong small-bowel loop may be caused by a fixation of the terminal ileal loop to the retroperitoneal fixed caecum, thus imitating the first jejunal loop and the ligament of Treitz [1].
