Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes and Quality of Life Comparison of Total Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy Reconstruction: Roux-en-Y versus Billroth II+Braun
Abstract:BACKGROUND: The controversy surrounding Roux-en-Y and Billroth II with Braun anastomosis as an anti-bile reflux procedure after distal gastrectomy has persisted.
