Clinical analysis transabdominal incision total gastrctomy for gastric carcinoma in 170 cases / 临床外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the indications and suitable surgical operation routes of total gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma and the reconstruction procedure of digestive tract following total gastrectomy.Methods The clinical data of total gastrectomy by abdominal incision in 170 patients with GC from 1991 to 2001 were reviewed.Results Radical total gastrectomy was prfomed in 132 cases,palliative total gastrectomy in 38 cases,total gastrectomy with combined re section of other organs in 18 cases,Roux en Y esophagojejunostomy in 110 cases following total gastrectomy.Interposition with jejunum in 60 cases following total gastrectomy.There are 20 cases with dumping syndrome and 6 cases with reflux esophagitis occurring in Roux en Y esophagojejunostomy,but none of cases occurs in those by interposition with jejunum.Conclusions (1)Transabdominal incision is the better choice for patients of GC,especially gastrocardiac carcinoma.(2)The total gastrectomy can raise the survival rate and quality of life of patients with GC,if the indications are stricted.(3)Interposition with jejunum following total gastrectomy is superior to Roux en Y esophagojejunostomy.
