Abstract
Background: Total and subtotal gastrectomies are methods of choice in surgical treatment of gastric cancer. These ablative operations eliminate the gastric reservoir and severely alter digestive physiology. Postgastrectomy syndromes include reflux gastritis and oesophagitis, dumping syndrome, intractable diarrhoea and afferent loop syndrome. To prevent such syndromes, jejunal interposition has been used following distal and total gastrectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of this procedure.
