Recognition of a gastroileostomy is often delayed because it may cause a variety of symptoms and findings and because it is rare. It is likely that the operative error is permanently overlooked in some patients. The potential value of analyzing reported cases of a gastroileal anastomosis was suggested by the variety of recorded clinical and laboratory findings and the apparent difficulty in the diagnosis of this operative error.Material  The medical literature was reviewed and all recognized reports of an inadvertent gastroileostomy were noted. Duplications of several reported cases were identified and omitted. A total of 88 documented cases of gastroileostomy were SN - 0004-0010 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archsurg.1969.01340120134025 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archsurg.1969.01340120134025 ER -
