Abstract

The gastrojejunal anastomosis is arguably the most challenging and crucial step of the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Either hand sewn or stapling devices can be used to good effect. Both hand sewn and linear stapled techniques can take time and are not easy. This is a quick, easy and safe method of performing this anastomosis. We describe the circular stapler technique employing different placement methods, and its advantages and disadvantages.
