Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 I have not had the operation but was considering it. In doing my research. however, I discovered that the MGB is not a new operation -- It is the same as the Billroth II only it is done laprascopically. If anyone out there is considering the MGB, they should research the long term results of the Billroth II loop before making their final decision. Again the MGB is not a new procedure -- the only thing new about it is that Dr. R is doing it laprascopically! Edvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Dear Edvi, I know the Billroth is not new because my GYN told me her grandfather had it done years ago because of ulcers or something; however, I have not been able to locate any billroth sites, do you know of any?
