DEFINITION OF BILLROTH I & II: " Billroth I and II are gastrectomies,

that is, surgical procedures used in the treatment of stomach cancer

and peptic ulcers. Billroth I involves the removal of the lower

portion of the stomach. The remaining stomach is then connected

directly to the duodenum, the upper part of the small intestine.

" Billroth II involves the removal of both the lower portion of the

stomach and the duodenum. The remaining stomach is then connected

directly to the jejunum, the middle portion of the small intestine. "
