Video Review: Roux en Y Anatomy

This video discusses the small bowel anatomy associated with Roux en Y gastric bypasses, including the roux limb, the BP limb, and the common channel. We use a combination of diagrams and OR footage to clearly show which loop of bowel is which at all stages of the operation. We also discuss and show the potential internal hernias associated with RnY anatomy, including Peterson’s, Brolin’s, and mesocolic defects.

These videos are for educational purposes only, do not use to diagnose or treat any diseases. This is not clinical advice.

Age restricted due to actual OR footage- check it out on Youtube.
