A partial gastrectomy according to Billroth I-Rydygier or Billroth II with several modifications is in general practice and has a definite position in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer. These methods guarantee a high percentage of permanent recovery. Yet some of the patients suffer from several dysfunctions of the alimentary tract which are connected with the operation. Among these postgastrectomy complications the main problem is the dumping syndrome. It seems that pyloric preserving gastrectomy leaving 1.5 cm of the prepyloric part above the pylorus ring leaves the physiology of the alimentary tract almost undisturbed.
