The biliopancreatic limb, also known as the afferent limb, consists of the duodenum and proximal jejunum that remains in continuity with the remnant stomach proximally. The limb contains digestive enzymes from the stomach, hepatobiliary tract, and pancreas. In a standard gastric bypass, approximately 40 cm is measured starting at the ligament of Treitz and divided using a stapling device to create the biliopancreatic(BP) limb.

Record 3 2024-07-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bowels
  • Surgery
CONT

A Roux limb may be formed in multiple different gastrointestinal surgeries, including bariatric surgery, e. g. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [and] biliopancreatic diversion... In these procedures, the small bowel is divided at some point. This leaves two components of small bowel : a proximal component connected to the stomach, pancreas, and biliary system [and] a distal component connected to the terminal ileum and colon. The end of the distal component is dragged up and connected(anastomosed) to the remnant stomach... This is the Roux limb. It accepts incoming food and transmits it from the gastric remnant to the colon.
