    Abstract:
    Clinical results of the use of a gastroenteric anastomosis with a diameter the size of the normal pylorus (1.9 cm) in 1,300 cases between 1954 and 1971 are presented mainly in terms of prevention of the dumping syndrome. We have had no patient with clinical manifestations of any degree of the dumping syndrome in the first two years after operation. These excellent results have led us to employ the method routinely. We recommend this method for its simplicity and, above all, its effectiveness in preventing the dumping syndrome.
