Roux method

The Roux method is a surgical technique used to treat severe acid reflux or stomach emptying problems. It involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach. This reduces acid production and prevents reflux, while also controlling how quickly food passes into the small intestine. Named after the surgeon who developed it, the Roux method improves symptoms and helps prevent complications associated with stomach disorders. It’s a carefully planned procedure that balances reducing reflux with maintaining proper digestion.
