Abstract
Marginal ulcer after proximal gastrectomy has never been previously reporte d, despite that this procedure preserves the fundic gland area of the stoma ch, which secretes gastric acid. In this report, we describe a patient who developed a marginal ulcer on the oral side of the gastrojejunal anastomosi s after Jejunal ulcer; proximal gastrectomy by jejunal interposition. This Proximal case serves as a reminder that gastric acid secretion of the remna nt stomach must be carefully monitored after proximal gastrectomy in gastri c cancer surgery.
