About this trial
The primary aim of this trial is to rigorously evaluate the comparative benefits and potential risks associated with Billroth II reconstruction with Braun anastomosis versus Billroth II reconstruction alone following distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy in patients diagnosed with gastric cancer. This assessment focuses on delineating the therapeutic efficacy, safety profile, and overall clinical outcomes of these two surgical approaches in treating this condition.

Treatments tested in this trial
Billroth II reconstruction
Procedure/SurgeryBillroth II reconstruction, in which a loop of jejunum is mobilized and anastomosed to the gastric remnant
Braun Anastomosis
Procedure/SurgeryThis is an additional surgical connection (anastomosis) created between two parts of the small intestine, specifically between the afferent (incoming) and efferent (outgoing) limbs of the jejunum near the gastrojejunostomy (the new connection between the stomach and small intestine created during a Billroth II procedure).
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes

Time to first passage of flatus/stool
Time taken to pass first stool or flatus
Postoperative complications (assessed according to the Clavien-Dindo)
