ABSTRACT
The necessity for routine prophylactic nasogastric tube decompression after a gastrectomy is still in controversy. Several reports have indicated that nasogastric tube decompression is unnecessary and that the tube may even be harmful with serious discomforts. A D2 gastrectomy (which means a D2 lymph node dissection during gastric cancer surgery) for a gastric carcinoma is an extensively destructive procedure which takes a longer operation time than a conventional gastrectomy, destroys both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers in the upper retroperitoneum, and may interfere with the gastrointestinal motility after the operation. Therefore, we have carried out a retrospective study with 206 gastrectomized gastric-cancer patients to evaluate the necessity of nasogastric tube decompression and whether the tube influences the gas-passing time, the morbidity, and mortality after operation.
