Rebuilding the digestive tract after stomach removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to rebuild the connection between the esophagus and small intestine after total stomach removal. It creates a pouch from the jejunum (part of the small intestine) to help with eating and digestion.
