Brief summary
Billroth-II (gastrojejunostomy) is one of major option after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The investigators hypothesized that isoperistaltic anastomosis lead to higher incidence of dumping syndrome but antiperistaltic (anisoperistaltic) anastomosis have relevance to gastric stasis or obstruction. The investigators will assess complications, dumping syndrome and quality of life between isoperistaltic and antiperistaltic after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Detailed description
Recently, laparoscopic approach has been a option for gastric cancer, especially early gastric cancer. There are growing interest in quality of life in addition to recurrence or survival. There are few report about peristalsis and no report for quality of life according to a direction of peristalsis.
Interventions
Same direction of peristalsis between stomach and jejunum, efferent loop of jejunum is located on the distal part of remnant stomach
Reverse direction of peristalsis between stomach and jejunum, efferent loop of jejunum is located on the proximal part of remnant stomach
