New pouch surgery aims to ease dumping syndrome after stomach removal
NCT ID NCT06967571
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
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.
