Prevention of Petersen's hernia using jejunal mesentery fixing (Mefix).

CONCLUSION: We found no occurrence of Petersen's hernias postoperatively in either group. We also found that the Mefix method was faster and easier to perform than the closure method. The Mefix method is an excellent alternative method to prevent the occurrence of Petersen's hernia after B-II or Roux-en-Y reconstruction. PMID: 33269633 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
