Length of the antral segment in pylorus‐preserving gastrectomy

Pylorus‐preserving gastrectomy (PPG) has the advantages of preventing dumping syndrome and duodenogastric reflux. However, time was required to reduce symptoms of gastric fullness or to improve food intake after surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the length of the retained antral segment influenced the postoperative symptoms in patients who underwent PPG.
