Abstract
Background: Long-limb Roux-en-Y (LLRY) reconstruction has recently been implemented as an oncometabolic surgery to improve glycemic control following surgery for gastric cancer (GC); however, data on its feasibility are insufficient. We investigated the 1-year outcomes of LLRY reconstruction for glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: We reviewed the records of 15 patients with GC and T2D who underwent LLRY reconstruction after gastrectomy, with biliopancreatic and Roux limb lengths of 130-250 cm, to improve postoperative glycemic control. The primary outcome was the T2D remission (glycated hemoglobin <6.5% without antidiabetic medication) rate at 12 months postoperatively. The diabetes prediction (DP) score and Korean nationwide average T2D remission rates following GC surgery were compared.
Results: The mean patient age was 66.5 years (standard deviation [SD] 9.6), mean body mass index was 26.4 kg/m2 (SD 4.4), and mean glycated hemoglobin level was 7.7% (SD 1.5). The overall T2D remission rate was 46.7%. The postoperative T2D remission rate was 12.9% higher than the DP score estimate (33.8%) and 25.7% higher than the Korean national average rate (21%) of T2D remission following GC surgery.
Conclusion: Our results show that LLRY reconstruction after gastrectomy is an effective oncometabolic surgery for treating T2D and GC.
期刊介绍:
''Digestive Surgery'' presents a comprehensive overview in the field of gastrointestinal surgery. Interdisciplinary in scope, the journal keeps the specialist aware of advances in all fields that contribute to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disease. Particular emphasis is given to articles that evaluate not only recent clinical developments, especially clinical trials and technical innovations such as new endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures, but also relevant translational research. Each contribution is carefully aligned with the need of the digestive surgeon. Thus, the journal is an important component of the continuing medical education of surgeons who want their practice to benefit from a familiarity with new knowledge in all its dimensions.
