What is another word for gastroenterostomy?
Pronunciation: [ɡˌastɹə͡ʊntəɹˈɒstəmɪ] (IPA) 
Gastroenterostomy is a medical term that refers to the surgical creation of an artificial opening or passage between the stomach and intestine. Despite being a specific term in the medical field, there are a few synonyms that can be used interchangeably, including Gastrojejunostomy, Gastroduodenostomy, Roux-en-Y surgery, and Billroth II reconstruction. Gastrojejunostomy is a surgical procedure where a connection is made between the stomach and the jejunum, the second part of the small intestine. Gastroduodenostomy, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that creates an opening between the stomach and the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. Roux-en-Y surgery and Billroth II reconstruction are both more specialized terms that describe specific surgical procedures for upper gastrointestinal diseases.
