Between October 1979 and February 1987, 30 consecutive patients with cancer of the lower stomach underwent B1-Schoemacher resection with a tubular gastric pouch. Operative mortality was 0% and operative morbidity 10% (leak 3%, anastomotic stricture 3% and abscess 3%). After a mean follow-up of 30 months, the expected 5-year survival was 32%. The causes of death were: 7 distant relapses, 2 noncancer diseases and 1 new primary cancer. The overall incidence of postgastrectomy symptoms was 23% for the whole series and 35% for the patients harboring small tumors. Mild dyspepsia occurred in 71%. The declining concept of total gastrectomy as an essential requirement for curative resection and the recent evidence that B2 for gastric lesions is a carcinogenic operation necessitate alternative procedures. The data show that modified Schoemacher resection can be consider a valid challenge to B2.
