FIGURE 2. View of completed laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass. The narrow gastric tube roughly the diameter of esophagus (approximate 1.5 cm wide) is created parallel to the lesser curvature and up to the angle of His. Intraoperative endoscopy is used as a stent during the division of the stomach and assists in the anastomosis. The antecolic gastroenterostomy is created at the small bowel 200 cm distal to the Trietz ligament.
