Overview of gastric bypass surgery
International Journal of Surgery Open, 2016 Highlights Abstract Gastric bypass surgery is indicated for several clinical reasons including benign and malignant upper gastrointestinal tract pathologies. Any gastric resection or bypass procedure interferes with gastric emptying and the aim of reconstruction is to minimize the disturbance ...
