Abstract
In 1992, the 100th anniversary of the use of the U-shaped anastomosis in abdominal surgery was celebrated. Swiss surgeon Caesar Roux proposed to apply a U-shaped gastroenteroanastomosis (GEA) on a disconnected loop of the jejunum with an end-to-side interstitial anastomosis for the treatment of organic pyloric stenosis. The need for this was dictated by severe complications in the form of adductor loop syndrome, "vicious circle" and reflux gastritis observed in other variants of gastroenterotomy. However, this operation, like GIA in general, was abandoned in the next decade due to the high incidence of peptic ulcers of the mouth.
