Under consideration is the experience with 64 operations of palliative areflux gastro-enteroanastomoses for inoperable cancer of distal portion of the stomach. The absence of lethal issues and such complications as suture incompetency at the anastomosis site, peritonitis, postoperative reflux-gastritis are felt by the authors to be due to the advantages of this operative technic. In 39 of 64 patients palliative surgery was soon followed by chemotherapy. The longer survival from 4--6 months to 11 months was noted only after palliative operations.
