Enteroanastomosis, also called enteroenterostomy, is a surgical anastomosis between two segments of the bowel. In connection with gastric resection of the Billroth II type an enteroanastomosis - an example of which is seen in these pictures - is often made in order to minimize the amount of bile reflux into the remnant stomach.
