Summary

This study tests a surgical technique called a jejunal pouch in 26 adults who need their entire stomach removed due to cancer or a high-risk gene mutation. The pouch is created from a section of the small intestine to replace the stomach's reservoir function. The goal is to reduce dumping syndrome—a common complication causing nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness after eating—and improve overall quality of life and nutrition.
