What is the difference between a Billroth 1 and a Billroth 2 in terms of resection and anastomosis?
A Billroth procedure is performed to treat problems such as perforating ulcers or cancer.
Depending on the severity of the condition or its location in the stomach or intestine, the surgeon will decide on which procedure to perform. Billroth procedures remove the lower portion of the stomach as well as the beginning of the intestine, called the duodenum.
A Billroth 1 procedure is when the remaining part of the stomach is attached to the remaining part of the duodenum before the common bile duct. The common bile duct is a tube that delivers digestive enzymes into the intestine.
A Billroth 2 procedure is performed when there is not enough length left of the duodenum for attachment before the common bile duct. In this case, the surgeon seals off the duodenum, and attaches the end of the stomach farther down the small intestine.
Patients who have had either procedure must change their diet in order to prevent complications. You must work closely with your surgeon and a dietitian to learn how to lower your risk of complications.

What are 4 examples of an anastomosis?
Anastomosis refers to the connection between two structures. Four examples include: 1) the joining of blood vessels, such as in collateral circulation; 2) the connection between the intestines after a bowel resection; 3) the fusion of nerve fibers in the nervous system; and 4) the union of ducts in the body's glandular systems, such as bile ducts in the liver. Each of these examples illustrates the body's ability to maintain function through alternative pathways.

The establishment of an anastomosis between the upper portion of the stomach and the duodenum?
This procedure is known as a gastrojejunostomy (Billroth II). It is commonly performed in cases of gastric outlet obstruction, such as in pyloric stenosis or gastric cancer, to allow for proper digestion and passage of food from the stomach into the small intestine. This surgical technique helps to bypass the obstructed area and restore gastrointestinal continuity.
