The Pylorus (the valve between the stomach and duodenum is the pyloric valve)
The first part of the bowel distal to the stomach is the duodenum. It is the shortest and widest part of the small intestine and plays a critical role in the absorption of nutrients.
duodenum
The bariatric procedure that is most often performed is the Roux-en-Y. During this gastric by pass surgery, the physician first separates the top section of the stomach from the lower part. This small top portion results in a significantly decreased stomach capacity. During the next phase of the procedure, the surgeon creates the bypass that directs food from the stomach's uppermost portion to the middle portion of the small bowel. By circumventing the bottom of the stomach and the first section of small intestine, the body has less ability to absorb calories which results in weight loss.
An operation where a portion of the lower stomach (pylorus) is removed. The remaining portion of the stomach is then connected to the duodenum (first part of the small intestine).
There are 3 parts to the small intestine: the duodenum, jejunum and ilium(in that order after the stomach). The duodenum is the first part of the small intestines. It is relatively short (12 inches) and starts at the pyloric sphincter of the stomach, and connects it to the jejunum.
