The benefits of R anastomotic technique for Billroth-Ⅱ reconstruction with Braun anastomosis during totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy: A propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, there is no consensus on the most appropriate anastomotic site, anastomotic line, and direction for Billroth-II reconstruction with Braun anastomosis (B-II-B anastomosis) during totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG). Herein, we presented a novel anastomotic technique called R anastomosis for B-II-B anastomosis and compared it with the conventional B-II-B anastomosis technique to assess its feasibility, safety, and effectiveness.

Methods

Between March 2019 and September 2022 in our center, R anastomosis was performed on 123 patients undergoing TLDG for distal gastric cancer. A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database identified patients who underwent TLDG between January 2010 and September 2022. Patients who underwent R anastom
