Billroth II With Braun Anastomosis Versus Roux‐En‐Y Reconstruction Following Distal Gastrectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
In adult patients undergoing distal gastrectomy, BIIB was associated with a shorter operative, anastomotic time, and intraoperative blood loss, with an increased incidence of bile reflux. BIIB may be an easier and feasible alternative to RY, especially in patients who should avoid excessive exposure to anesthesia.
