Short-term outcomes of distal gastrectomy versus total gastrectomy for gastric cancer under enhanced recovery after surgery: a propensity score-matched analysis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:17594. [PMID: 39080478 PMCID: PMC11289314 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-68787-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been used safely and effectively in patients with gastric cancer. Our aim was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of total gastrectomy (TG) versus distal gastrectomy (DG) for gastric cancer under ERAS. A prospectively collected database of 1349 patients with gastric cancer who underwent TG or DG between January 2016 and September 2022 was retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching analysis was used at a ratio of 1:1 to reduce confounding effects, and perioperative clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. The primary outcome was overall postoperative complications (POCs). Secondary outcomes comprised time to bowel function recovery, postoperative hospital stay, mortality, and 30-day readmission rate. Of 1349 identified patients, 296 (21.9%) experienced overall POCs. Before matching, multivariable analysis revealed that age, body mass index, diabetes, operation time, and extent of gastrectomy were independent risk factors for overall POCs. After matching, each group comprised 495 patients, and no significant differences were observed between the groups for all parameters except tumor location. Compared with TG, DG was associated with significantly earlier days to first flatus and to eating a soft diet, and shorter postoperative hospital stay (P < 0.05). The incidence of overall- and severe POCs (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ IIIa) in the TG group was significantly higher vs. the DG group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of days to eating a liquid diet, or mortality and 30-day readmission rates between the groups (P > 0.05). In the subgroup analysis for middle-third gastric cancer, the TG group experienced higher rates of overall- and severe POCs, with a longer postoperative hospital stay. Compared with DG, patients who underwent TG had higher POC rates, slower recovery of bowel function, and longer duration of hospitalization under ERAS. Therefore, caution is needed when initiating early feeding for patients who undergo TG.

A meta-analysis evaluating wound infections and other complications following distal versus complete gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14516. [PMID: 38084020 PMCID: PMC10958092 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
A meta-analysis investigation was carried out to measure the wound infections (WIs) and other postoperative problems (PPs) of distal gastrectomy (DG) compared with total gastrectomy (TG) for gastric cancer (GC). A comprehensive literature investigation till February 2023 was used and 1247 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 12 chosen investigations enclosed 2896 individuals with GC in the chosen investigations' starting point, 1375 of them were TG, and 1521 were DG. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilized to compute the value of the WIs and other PPs of DG compared with TG for GC by the dichotomous approaches and a fixed or random model. TG had significantly higher overall PP (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.15-2.18, p = 0.005), WIs (OR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.07-2.67, p = 0.02), peritoneal abscess (PA) (OR, 2.99; 95% CI, 1.67-5.36, p < 0.001), anastomotic leakage (AL) (OR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.21-2.97, p = 0.005) and death (OR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.17-4.37, p = 0.02) compared to those with DG in individuals with GC. TG had significantly higher overall PP, WIs, PA, AL and death compared to those with DG in individuals with GC. However, care must be exercised when dealing with its values because of the low sample size of some of the nominated investigations for the meta-analysis.

Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-023-10068-z. [PMID: 37076615 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10068-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The transorally inserted anvil (OrVil™) is frequently selected for esophagojejunostomy after laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) because of its versatility. During anastomosis with OrVil™, the double stapling technique (DST) or hemi-double stapling technique (HDST) can be selected by overlapping the linear stapler and the circular stapler. However, no studies have reported the differences between the methods and their clinical significance. METHODS A randomized controlled clinical trial with a parallel assignment and single-blind outcomes assessment analysis was conducted. Patients with gastric cancer eligible for LTG who met the selection criteria were randomized. Preoperative characteristics and perioperative and postoperative outcomes were compared between the DST and HDST. The primary endpoint was an anastomosis-related complication, and the secondary endpoints were perioperative outcomes and postoperative complications, excluding anastomosis-related complications. RESULTS Thirty patients with gastric cancer were eligible and randomized. LTG and esophagojejunostomy were successfully performed in all patients, without conversion to laparotomy. Preoperative characteristics, excluding preoperative chemotherapy, were not significantly different between the two groups. One anastomotic leakage of Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥ IIIa was observed in the DST, although no significant difference was found between the two groups (6.6% vs. 0%, P = 0.30). In the HDST, one case of anastomotic stricture required endoscopic balloon dilation. No significant differences were found in operative time, whereas the anastomosis time was significantly shorter in the HDST than in the DST (47.5 ± 15.8 vs. 38.2 ± 8.8 min, P = 0.028). Except for anastomosis-related complications, postoperative complications (P = 0.282) and postoperative hospital stay for the DST and HDST were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS No superiority was found between the DST and HDST with OrVil™ in esophagojejunostomy of LTG for gastric cancer with respect to postoperative complications, whereas the HDST may be preferable in terms of the simplicity of the surgical technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study introduces a technique for esophagojejunostomy with half transected and self-pulling (HTSP) and evaluates the safety, feasibility, and clinical results of this technique in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG). MATERIALS AND METHODS From May 2019 to March 2021, 42 patients (HTSP group) who underwent HTSP-TLTG surgery in the Department of Abdominal Tumor Surgery of Jiangxi Cancer Hospital were included in this study. The control group consisted of 50 patients undergoing conventional TLTG surgery (conventional anastomosis group) performed by the same surgical team from March 2018 to March 2020. The clinical data of the two groups were retrospectively analyzed and compared. RESULTS The mean operation time of the HTSP-TLTG surgery was 166.7 ± 13.1 minutes and the anastomosis time was 20.8 ± 2.0 minutes, which were significantly shorter than those of traditional TLTG (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in blood loss, time to first exhaust, postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of surgery-related complications. CONCLUSION HTSP is a safe and feasible way of endoscopic esophagojejunal anastomosis, which requires a relatively low suture technique under endoscopy, and is suitable for promotion.

Abstract
Background Laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) has been increasingly used for the treatment of locally advanced Siewert type II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). However, whether LG can achieve the same short-term efficacy in the treatment of patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) remains controversial. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of NACT combined with LG for Siewert type II and III AEG. Methods This retrospective study identified patients with locally advanced Siewert type II and III AEG diagnosed between May 2011 and October 2020 using the clinical tumor-node-metastasis (cTNM) staging system. The short-term outcomes were compared between the matched groups using a 1:3 propensity score matching (PSM) method, which was performed to reduce bias in patient selection. Results After PSM, 164 patients were selected, including 41 in the NACT group and 123 in the LG group. The baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. Compared with the LG group, the NACT group exhibit a smaller tumor size and significantly less advanced pathological tumor classification and nodal classification stages. The time to first flatus of the NACT group was significantly shorter, but the hospital stay was significantly longer than that of the LG group. The NACT group showed similar overall (29.3% vs 25.2%, P=0.683), systemic (24.4% vs 21.1%, P=0.663), local (12.2% vs 9.8%, P=0.767), minor (19.5% vs 19.5%, P=1.000) and major (9.8% vs 5.7%, P=0.470) complications as the LG group. Subgroup analyses showed no significant differences in most stratified parameters. Operation time≥ 300 minutes was identified as an independent risk factor for overall complications. Age≥ 60 years was identified as an independent risk factor for major complications. Conclusion NACT combined with LG for AEG does not increase the risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality compared with LG.

J Gastric Cancer 2021; 21:352-367. [PMID: 35079438 PMCID: PMC8753276 DOI: 10.5230/jgc.2021.21.e34] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Minimally invasive gastrectomy is a promising surgical method with well-known benefits, including reduced postoperative complications. However, for total gastrectomy of gastric cancers, this approach does not significantly reduce the risk of complications. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for the severity of complications associated with minimally invasive total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Materials and Methods The study included 392 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent either laparoscopic or robotic total gastrectomy between 2011 and 2019. Clinicopathological and operative characteristics were assessed to determine the features related to postoperative complications after minimally invasive total gastrectomy. Binomial and multinomial logistic regression models were used to identify the risk factors for overall complications and mild and severe complications, respectively. Results Of 103 (26.3%) patients experiencing complications, 66 (16.8%) and 37 (9.4%) developed mild and severe complications, respectively. On multivariate multinomial regression analysis, independent predictors of severe complications included obesity (OR, 2.56; 95% CI, 1.02−6.43; P=0.046), advanced stage (OR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.13−7.43; P=0.026), and more intraoperative bleeding (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.02−1.06; P=0.001). Operation time was the only independent risk factor for mild complications (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.001−1.13; P=0.047). Conclusions The risk factors for mild and severe complications were associated with surgery, indicating surgical difficulty. Surgeons should be aware of these potential risks that are related to the severity of complications so as to reduce surgery-related complications after minimally invasive total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background: Totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) not only is difficult to operate but also has high technical requirements and a long learning curve. Therefore, it has not been widely carried out yet, and esophagojejunostomy is one of its difficulties. Relevant studies have shown that intracorporeal hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy is safe, feasible and low-cost, but it is complicated and time-consuming and requires a high-suture technique. This study introduces a simple, safe and feasible hand-sewn technique. Methods: The clinical data of 32 patients with the esophageal suspension method for hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy (suspension group) after TLTG were collected from February 2018 to June 2019. During the same period, 32 patients with traditional hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy (traditional group) after TLTG were used as the control group. Results: The operative time, anastomosis time, exhaust time and hospitalization time of the suspension group were shorter than those of the traditional group. The intraoperative blood loss in the suspension group was less than that in the traditional group. There were no postoperative complications associated with the suspension group. Conclusion: For those who have some experience in laparoscopic suture technique, the esophageal suspension method for hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy after TLTG is a simple, safe, and feasible suture technique.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A transorally inserted anvil has been developed to facilitate the creation of a stapled anastomosis without the need for a purse string to secure the anvil into place during laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). We describe a hemi-double stapling technique and application of a transorally inserted anvil for esophagojejunostomy during LTG, and we report the results of a retrospective study in which we examined the feasibility and safety of this method. We also describe the key technical details of the method. METHODS Our anastomotic method has four chief features: (a) the esophagus is cut at a slant, and its left cut end is cut and punched for the hemi-double stapling technique; (b) the anvil and circular stapler are connected, placing the distal jejunum in cranial traction; (c) a single layer of sutures is used to correct dog-earing and overlapping, and these points are completely closed with Lembert sutures; and (d) the jejunal limb is fixed to the duodenal stump to prevent kinking of the jejunal limb and to decrease tension on the anastomosis. RESULTS This method has been used in 53 patients thus far. LTG with Roux-en-Y reconstruction was successful in all patients, and there was no need for conversion to open surgery. The mean operative time was 313 minutes, and the mean blood loss was 106 mL. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 18 days. There was no anastomotic leakage or stenosis. CONCLUSION Hemi-double stapling technique with a transorally inserted anvil for LTG can be performed safely and easily and safely. It can also product good outcomes.

Abstract
In addition to the popularity of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG), many reconstructive procedures after LG have been reported. Surgical resection and lymphatic dissection determine long-term survival; however, the election of a reconstruction procedure determines the postoperative quality of life for patients with gastric cancer (GC). Presently, no consensus exists regarding the optimal reconstructive procedure. In this review, the current state of digestive tract reconstruction after LG is reviewed. According to the determining influence of the tumor site on the procedures of surgical resection and reconstruction, we divide these reconstruction procedures into three categories consistent with the resection procedures. We focus on the technical tips of every reconstruction procedure and examine the surgical outcomes (length of surgery and blood loss) and postoperative complications (anastomotic leakage and stricture) to facilitate gastrointestinal surgeons to understand the merits and demerits of every reconstruction procedure.
