Animal studies have indicated that the jejunum can tolerate ischemia for as little as 2 to 3 hours. Clinical studies also reported increased complications after the FJT with more than 3 hours of ischemia. Traditionally, our institution has carried out FJT with an initial intestinal anastomosis, followed by a vascular anastomosis, which often results in extended jejunal ischemia time.
