Core Tip

Core Tip: No consensus is available in the literature regarding the more beneficial technique between laparoscopic Uncut Roux-en-Y (URY) and Billroth II combined Braun (BB) anastomosis for radical distal gastrectomy. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis comparing URY and BB anastomosis. These two techniques were investigated in terms of surgical outcomes, postoperative recovery, and postoperative complications.
