Billroth I operation

The excision of the pylorus with an end-to-end anastomosis of the stomach and the duodenum, which was once used in managing peptic ulcer disease and continues in use for stomach cancer.

(2-6) Most of the techniques describing the use of circular staplers for Billroth I anastomosis required an additional gastrotomy for introducing the instrument or passage of the instrument through the part of the stomach to be resected.

Billroth I anastomosis using a circular stapler for corrosive gastric stricture: a novel technique

We proceeded to a lower third gastrectomy involving the duodenal bulb, pylorus, and antrum and performed a Billroth I anastomosis. We also did a longitudinal incision of the jejunum 15 cm away from the ligament of Treitz and managed to remove one wide-based polyp, which is 1.5 cm in length.

Moreover, a Billroth I anastomosis was deemed preferable so that future endoscopies may be facilitated.

In our study, 54 patients (71.05%) had Billroth I anastomosis and 19 patients (25%) had Billroth II anastomosis.

Factors Associated with Recurrent Ulcers in Patients with Gastric Surgery after More Than 15 Years: A Cross-Sectional Single-Center Study

If there is extensive destruction then a partial gastrectomy may be performed with a Billroth I anastomosis if there is enough duodenum or a Billroth II, gastrojejunostomy if the proximal duodenum is also damaged.

Penetrating trauma in upper abdomen causing isolated posterior gastric wall perforation: a rare presentation

Billroth I anastomosis has been known to offer the advantages of greater simplicity of performance, fewer postanastomosis anatomical changes, increased physiological pathways, and lower incidences of adhesion and internal herniation.

The Advances of Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

Although mechanical stapling is now an established alternative to conventional hand suturing for construction of a gastrointestinal anastomosis, its role in gastroduodenostomy remains to be defined.[1] Several techniques have been described for performing Billroth I anastomosis after distal gastrectomy using a circular stapler.[1-3] Some surgeons make an incision on the anterior wall of the residual stomach, insert the circular stapler, and perform side-to-end gastroduodenostomy.

We describe a Billroth I gastrectomy and Billroth I anastomosis in which we introduced a CDH stapler (Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA) through the part of the stomach to be resected.
