Core Tip This study demonstrates that compared to Billroth II reconstruction, Roux-en-Y anastomosis significantly reduces the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux and reflux esophagitis, alleviates reflux-related symptoms, and improves postoperative quality of life (QoL) in gastric cancer patients after radical distal gastrectomy. Although operative time may be longer with Roux-en-Y, it offers superior long-term functional outcomes by minimizing bile reflux and associated complications, without compromising nutritional status. Roux-en-Y reconstruction is recommended for its enhanced QoL benefits and reduced reflux morbidity.
