Randomized Clinical Trial of Roux-en-Y versus rho-Roux-en-Y Reconstruction after Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

INTERVENTION: rho‐RY reconstruction (rRY) standard RY reconstruction CONDITION: Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer PRIMARY OUTCOME: To determine the frequency of DGE (delayed gastric emptying) SECONDARY OUTCOME: The length of post‐operative stay, post‐operative complications, and some nutritional status after operation. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients, who needed the distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer with reconstruction except of BI, were eligible for this study. Other eligibility criteria were: age between 20 and 90 years; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 1 or 0; RY reconstruction after resection was necessary; acceptable renal and hepatic function, and normal ECG.
