Subtotal gastrectomy is considered the preferred treatment for @entity356 with antral location. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of @entity260 and late functional results in @entity1 who underwent subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction for primary @entity356 . The results of 310 @entity1 were analyzed with regard to @entity260 and @entity204 rates. Functional results as they relate to the gastric resection were evaluated in 195 disease-free @entity1 . Of the 310 @entity1 , 77 developed @entity260 (24.8%) and 13 consequently died (in-hospital mortality: 4.2%). Although infrequent (6 cases, 1.9%), @entity834 was the most serious complication (4 cases died during the postoperative phase). Considering functional results, @entity353 continued for the first trimester after surgery, after which it stabilized. @entity1277 was rarely observed; early after the operation the majority of @entity1 were consuming a normal diet and regularly consumed less than five meals per day (83.6%). @entity11315 was uncommon and usually resolved within one year (12.3% at three months, 9.5% after one year, 5.2% after two years). On the other hand, postprandial abdominal fullness was frequently observed (43.1% at three months, 36.1% after one year, 21.3% after three years, and 16.5% after five years). Billroth II reconstruction after subtotal gastrectomy is associated with a limited risk of anastomotic complications. @entity834 , although infrequent, is a life-threatening complaint and requires prompt recognition and aggressive surgical treatment. The incidence of late complications was low and the majority of @entity1 recovered from them within one year after surgery, although the occurrence of postprandial abdominal fullness was not completely irrelevant.
