AB Gastrojejunostomy  is  indicated  for  certain  patients  with  duodenal  ulcer  complicated  by  pyloric  obstruction.  It  is  indicated  also  if  technical  difficulties  prevent  resection  or  make  resection  hazardous;  if  the  patient  is  such  a  poor  operative  risk  that  only  the  safest  surgical  procedure  should  be  carried  out;  or  if  a  vagus  nerve  resection  has  been  performed.  It  is  occasionally  indicated  for  the  relief  of  pyloric  obstruction  in  the  presence  of  nonresectable  malignancies  of  the  stomach,  duodenum,  or  head  of  the  pancreas.
