Plural of duodenojejunostomy; multiple surgical procedures or instances of creating a direct connection between the duodenum and the jejunum.
Plural form of duodenojejunostomy, combining duodenum, jejunum, and -ostomy. The standard English plural -ies replaces the singular -y ending in medical terminology.
Surgeons sometimes have to do this procedure multiple times in the same patient due to complications or failed previous attempts—it's one of the trickier intestinal surgeries because the jejunum is so delicate and highly mobile.
