[A method for a modified Billroth II-Braun gastric resection]

A modified method of resection of the stomach after Billroth-II was used in treatment of 26 patients with ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum and with antral cancer of the stomach. During this procedure the following anastomoses were formed: frontal-colonic, frontal, superior, longitudinal-transversal and antiperistaltic side-to-side anastomosis with interintestinal anastomosis after Braun [correction of Brown] following the dissection of the Treitz ligament. One complication was noted--the incompetent duodenum stump. There were no lethal complications.
