What anatomical connection is formed during the Billroth II procedure?

The Billroth II procedure, also known as gastrectomy, involves the surgical resection of a portion of the stomach and then connecting the remaining section of the stomach directly to the jejunum, which is part of the small intestine. This reconfiguration is performed to allow for the passage of digested food after the removal of part of the stomach, particularly in cases of gastric ulcers or cancer. The primary goal is to facilitate proper digestion and nutrient absorption after the stomach's resection.

The connection made during this procedure is specifically between the stomach and the jejunum, making the answer correct. In this setup, the jejunum receives the gastric content for further digestion and absorption, bypassing the duodenum.
