Abstract
Background: This study aimed to analyze the clinical efficacy of π-shaped esophagojejunostomy and the overlap method in treating upper gastric cancer with double-tract reconstruction in proximal gastrectomy under total laparoscopy.
Method: Clinical data were collected from patients with upper gastric cancer who underwent surgery in the General Surgery Department of Jiangsu University Affiliated Hospital from June 1, 2017, to January 1, 2023. Patients were categorized into the overlap method group and the π-shaped esophagojejunostomy group. We collected perioperative and gastroscopy follow-up data from both groups 1 year after surgery.
Results: Seventy-nine patients were included, with 46 in the overlap anastomosis group and 33 in the π-shaped esophagojejunostomy group. Both groups were evaluated for age, sex, body mass index, tumor diameter, tumor pathological Tumor, Node, Metastasis staging, intraoperative bleeding volume, number of lymph node dissections, postoperative hospitalization days, postoperative hospitalization days, catheter removal time, drainage tube removal time, recovery time, anal defecation time, postoperative bedtime activity time, hospitalization cost, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score at rest on the first day after surgery, VAS score at activity on the first day after surgery, short-term postoperative complications and 1-year gastroscopy follow-up. No significant difference was observed in these factors (P > 0.05). However, the π-shaped esophagojejunostomy group had a significantly lower surgical time and anastomosis time than the overlap anastomosis group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Both overlap anastomosis and π-shaped esophagojejunostomy are safe for double-tract reconstruction in proximal gastrectomy under total laparoscopy without increasing the incidence of perioperative and short-term complications in patients. π-shaped esophagojejunostomy has shorter surgical time and anastomosis time than overlap anastomosis.
期刊介绍:
World Journal of Surgical Oncology publishes articles related to surgical oncology and its allied subjects, such as epidemiology, cancer research, biomarkers, prevention, pathology, radiology, cancer treatment, clinical trials, multimodality treatment and molecular biology. Emphasis is placed on original research articles. The journal also publishes significant clinical case reports, as well as balanced and timely reviews on selected topics.
Oncology is a multidisciplinary super-speciality of which surgical oncology forms an integral component, especially with solid tumors. Surgical oncologists around the world are involved in research extending from detecting the mechanisms underlying the causation of cancer, to its treatment and prevention. The role of a surgical oncologist extends across the whole continuum of care. With continued developments in diagnosis and treatment, the role of a surgical oncologist is ever-changing. Hence, World Journal of Surgical Oncology aims to keep readers abreast with latest developments that will ultimately influence the work of surgical oncologists.
