There are various types of reconstruction of gastrointestinal continuity after gastric resection. It seems that insufficient attention has been paid to how the geometry and flow conditions affect the gastroduodenal system after distal gastric resection. Also, intraluminal pressure can be the dominant cause of duodenal suture dehiscence, but still many pathological mechanisms involved in this surgical problem remain unclear...
