Braun anastomosis performed during a Billroth II procedure has shown evidence of superiority over typical Billroth II, in terms of survival, with no impact on postoperative morbidity and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n AIM<\/jats:p>\n To compare Billroth II vs Billroth II and Braun following distal gastrectomy, regarding their postoperative course.<\/jats:p>\n METHODS<\/jats:p>\n Patients who underwent distal gastrectomy during 2002-2021, were separated into two groups, depending on the surgical technique used (Billroth II: 74 patients and Billroth II and Braun: 28 patients). The daily output of the nasogastric tube (NGT), the postoperative day that NGT was removed and the day the patient started per os feeding were recorded. Postoperative complications were at the same time noted. Data were then statistically analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n RESULTS<\/jats:p>\n There was difference in the mean NGT removal day and the mean start feeding day. Mean total postoperative NGT output was lower in Braun group (399.17 mL vs 1102.78 mL) and it was statistically significant (P < 0.0001). Mean daily postoperative NGT output was also statistically significantly lower in Braun group. According to the postoperative follow up 40 patient experienced bile reflux and alkaline gastritis from the Billroth II group, while 9 patients who underwent Billroth II and Braun anastomosis were presented with the same conditions (P < 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n There was evidence of superiority of Billroth II and Braun vs typical Billroth II in terms of bile reflux, alkaline gastritis and NGT output.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5662\/wjm.v14.i1.89709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]],"date-time":"2024-03-07T00:28:33Z","timestamp":1709771313000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Billroth II anastomosis combined with brown anastomosis reduce reflux gastritis in gastric cancer patients"],"prefix":"10.5662","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Grigorios","family":"Christodoulidis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina Nektaria","family":"Kouliou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos Eleftherios","family":"Koumarelas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Argyriou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Garyfallia Apostolia","family":"Karali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Tepetes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","unstructured":"Kazi RA, Peter RE.
