Comparing modified Billroth-II with hinged anti-peristaltic afferent loop and Roux-en-Y reconstruction after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer, the former showed superior outcomes in terms of operating time, postoperative hospital stays, and time to semi-solid diet tolerance. However, both methods had similar functional outcomes. The study suggests that Billroth-II could be a favorable alternative to Roux-en-Y in reconstruction after distal gastrectomy.
