Abstract
Billroth II distal gastrectomy has traditionally been performed for complications of peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastric cancer, and even for the treatment of morbid obesity. Advances in treatment of PUD and a shift in the surgical management of morbid obesity have decreased the frequency with which this operation is performed. However, this technique remains an essential treatment in the management of gastric malignancies [ [1] Brennan M.F. Current status of surgery for gastric cancer: a review. Gastric Cancer. 2005; 8: 64-70 Crossref PubMed Scopus (64) Google Scholar ]. Surgeons performing this procedure need to be knowledgeable in the postoperative nutritional deficiencies that will arise and the nutritional supplementation needed [ [2] Johnson J.M. Maher J.W.

Surg. 2006; 243 ([discussion 704-5]): 701-704 Crossref PubMed Scopus (147) Google Scholar ]. A multidisciplinary approach with a nutritionist is recommended.
