Abstract
Restoring gastrointestinal continuity has remained an issue since the first successful gastrectomy. Although various reconstruction techniques are possible after gastrectomy, researchers and clinicians have yet to decide on an optimal or ideal reconstruction method. When choosing a reconstruction method, surgeons should seek to maintain, in addition to surgical and oncological stability, quality of life by ensuring nutritional intake after surgery.
