Jejunectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of part or all of the jejunum, the middle section of the small intestine, which plays a key role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. This surgery is typically performed to treat conditions such as cancer, severe trauma, Crohn's disease, or obstructions in the small intestine. In rare cases, it may also be required to remove damaged or necrotic tissue caused by an intestinal infarction, where blood flow to the intestine is blocked, leading to tissue death. The procedure can be performed as an open surgery or laparoscopically, depending on the patient's condition. After the diseased section of the jejunum is removed, the remaining portions of the intestine are connected (anastomosed) to restore the continuity of the digestive tract. If a significant portion of the jejunum is removed, patients may experience malabsorption issues since this part of the intestine is essential for absorbing nutrients, particularly carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Complications from jejunectomy can include infection, bleeding, and leakage from the site where the intestines are reconnected. There is also a risk of developing short bowel syndrome if a large portion of the small intestine is removed, leading to difficulty absorbing enough nutrients to maintain a healthy body. Postoperative care often involves close monitoring, dietary changes, and sometimes supplemental nutrition through intravenous feeding or special diets. Despite these risks, jejunectomy can be life-saving and improve quality of life for patients with serious intestinal conditions.
