ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility and safety of modified quadruple stapling technique in radical proximal gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Medical records of 55 consecutive patients who underwent radical proximal gastrectomy for gastric cancer were analyzed retrospectively. Twenty-eight patients (modified group) undergoing modified quadruple stapling technique were compared to 27 patients (traditional group) who underwent traditional approach during the same period.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no perioperative mortality. All the patients had negative pathological resection margin. The mean operative time in the modified group was significantly shorter than that in the traditional group [(158±31) min vs. (195±42) min, P<0.05]. There were no immediate complications such as stricture, bleeding or leakage at the anastomosis, gastroparesis, and wound infection. Postoperative recovery did not differ between the two groups (P>0.05). During the follow-up (range 3 months-2 years), 2 (7.1%) patients in the modified group and 2 (7.4%) in the traditional group developed reflux esophagitis (P>0.05) and anastomotic inflammation occurred in 2 cases (7.1%) for the modified group and 8 (29.6%) for the traditional group (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Modified quadruple stapling technique is a feasible and safe method in radical proximal gastrectomy.</p>
