Abstract:
There are various types of digestive tract reconstruction techniques after distal gastrectomy. Among them, Billroth I and II are still the predominant option in China at present. In recent years, Roux-en-Y configuration, jejunal interposition, J-pouch interposition (JPI), double-tract reconstruction, pylorus-preserving method, and laparoscopic reconstruction and anastomosis techniques have gained more attention in recent years. Although there is no universal and explicit guideline, the current consensus is that the reconstruction style should be adopted by the principles of digestive tract reconstruction, based on patient's condition, socioeconomic status and surgeon's experience.
