title: [Long-term results of gastric resection with reconstruction, using the Billroth I method].
abstract: Clinical, radiological and endoscopic results at follow-up about 1-5 yr after surgery in a series of 62 patients subjected to Billroth I resection are compared with those in the literature. Recurrence of ulcers was observed in 8% (as opposed to 5% with the Billroth II). In addition, there was a marked reduction in the incidence of post-resection diseases, with less serious forms of dumping, sounder digestion, and smaller weight losses.
