Comparative study on two types of digestive reconstruction after total gastrectomy in patients with gastric carcinoma / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare two types of digestive reconstruction and postoperative complications after total gastrectomy in patients with gastric carcinoma. Methods Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy and P-type Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy were performed in 50 patients with gastric carcinoma after total gastrectomy. The operating time and postoperative complications were observed. Results The gastrointestinal symptoms for Roux-en-Y esophagojeju-nostomy and P-type Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy serve as diarrhea ( 11.8% and 12.1% ), dumping syndrome (3.9% and 3.3% ) and reflux esophagitis(5.9% and 6.0% ) ,the incidence of the difference was not significant ( than,P>0.05 ). The postoperative complications in P-type Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy( 13.1% ) slightly higher that Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy( 11.1% ) ,but the difference was not significant( P>0.05 ). Roux-en-Y esoph-agojejunostomy average operative time(3.1±0.3)h was significantly reduced than P-type Roux-en-Y esophagojeju-nostomy(3.7±0.2)h(t=3.35,P<0.05). Conclusion Roux-en-Y esephagojejunostomy and P-type Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy is a suitable type after total gastrectomy for patients with gastric carcinoma, but the former opera-tive time was shorter.
