Leaving the duodenum intact during a Billroth II procedure, which involves a gastric resection and anastomosis to the jejunum, helps maintain some normal digestive function. The duodenum plays a critical role in the regulation of gastric emptying and the secretion of digestive enzymes and hormones. By preserving it, the surgery minimizes complications related to nutrient absorption and helps ensure a more gradual transition of food into the small intestine. This can lead to better postoperative outcomes and reduced risk of dumping syndrome.
part of the small intestine called the duodenum.

The pancreas and the gallbladder are the associated glands connected to the duodenum. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum to help with the breakdown of food, while the gallbladder stores and releases bile produced by the liver to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats in the duodenum.
No, the stomach is larger in volume compared to the duodenum. The stomach serves as a temporary storage and mixing chamber for food, whereas the duodenum is the first part of the small intestine where further digestion and absorption take place.
Yes, the duodenum and ileal mucosa can feel different. The duodenum tends to have more ridges and folds, while the ileal mucosa is smoother and has a thinner consistency. Additionally, the duodenum is closer to the stomach and may have a slightly different texture than the ileum.
A Billroth procedure is performed to treat problems such as perforating ulcers or cancer. Depending on the severity of the condition or its location in the stomach or intestine, the surgeon will decide on which procedure to perform. Billroth procedures remove the lower portion of the stomach as well as the beginning of the intestine, called the duodenum. A Billroth 1 procedure is when the remaining part of the stomach is attached to the remaining part of the duodenum before the common bile duct. The common bile duct is a tube that delivers digestive enzymes into the intestine. A Billroth 2 procedure is performed when there is not enough length left of the duodenum for attachment before the common bile duct. In this case, the surgeon seals off the duodenum, and attaches the end of the stomach farther down the small intestine. Patients who have had either procedure must change their diet in order to prevent complications. You must work closely with your surgeon and a dietitian to learn how to lower your risk of complications.
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).
After removing a piece of the stomach, the surgeon reattaches the remainder to the rest of the bowel. The Billroth I gastroduodenostomy specifically joins the upper stomach back to the duodenum

The procedure is also referred to as a Billroth I procedure.
duodenum
The first 10 inches of the small intestine is called the duodenum. It is responsible for receiving partially digested food from the stomach and continues the process of digestion by mixing it with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver.
