Roux, César (1857-1934) \ˈrü\ Swiss surgeon. Roux served as chief of surgery at the University of Lausanne's medical school. In 1892 he began using the technique of the Y-shaped loop in gastrointestinal surgeries involving antral or pyloric obstruction. Although he subsequently abandoned the procedure, on account of the frequency of late peptic ulcerations in the loop, the concept of the Y-shaped loop was eventually adapted for hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic surgeries, as well as for other gastrointestinal procedures.
