Abstract
Many techniques have been devised for the safe closure of the 'difficult' duodenal stump after Billroth II gastrectomy. It is suggested that, in the presence of a 'difficult' duodenum and when gastrectomy is unavoidable, gastroduodenal anastomosis obviates the potential hazards of the high-risk duodenal stump.Entities:
