World J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 15:1354-1362. [PMID: 37555119 PMCID: PMC10405104 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v15.i7.1354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths, and is classified according to its location in the proximal, middle, or distal stomach. Surgical resection is the primary approach for treating gastric cancer. This prospective study aimed to determine the best reconstruction method after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. AIM To explore the efficacy of different staplers and digestive tract reconstruction (DTR) methods after radical gastrectomy and their influence on prognosis. METHODS Eighty-seven patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for distal gastric cancer at our institution between April 2017 and April 2020 were included in this study, with a follow-up period of 12-26 mo. The patients were assigned to four groups based on the stapler and DTR plan as follows: Billroth Ⅰ (B-I) reconstruction + linear stapler group (group A, 22 cases), B-I reconstruction + circular stapler group (group B, 22 cases), Billroth II (B-II) reconstruction + linear stapler group (group C, 22 cases), and B-II reconstruction + circular stapler group (group D, 21 cases). The pathological parameters, postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery, postoperative complications, and quality of life (QOL) were compared among the four groups. RESULTS No significant differences in the maximum diameter of the gastric tumors, total number of lymph nodes dissected, drainage tube removal time, QLQ (QOL questionnaire)-C30 and QLQ-STO22 scores at 1 year postoperatively, and incidence of complications were observed among the four groups (P > 0.05). However, groups A and C (linear stapler) had significantly lower intraoperative blood loss and significantly shorter anastomosis time, operation time, first fluid diet intake time, first exhaust time, and length of postoperative hospital stay (P < 0.05) than groups B and D (circular stapler). CONCLUSION Linear staplers offer several advantages for postoperative recovery. B-I and B-II reconstruction methods had similar effects on QOL. The optimal solution can be selected according to individual conditions and postoperative convenience.

Propensity score matching comparisons of postoperative complications and morbidity between digestive tract reconstruction methods after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients with visceral obesity. Front Oncol 2023; 12:1072127. [PMID: 36861109 PMCID: PMC9969132 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1072127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Few studies have compared the prognosis of different reconstruction methods after gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC) patients with obesity. The aim of the present study was to compare postoperative complications and overall survival (OS) between the following reconstruction methods: Billroth I (B-I), Billroth II (B-II), and Roux-en-Y (R-Y) after gastrectomy for GC patients with visceral obesity (VO). Methods We performed a double-institutional dataset study of 578 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy with B-I, B-II, and R-Y reconstructions between 2014 and 2016. VO was defined as a visceral fat area at the level of the umbilicus greater than 100 cm2. Propensity score-matching analysis was performed to balance the significant variables. Postoperative complications and OS were compared between the techniques. Results VO was determined in 245 patients, of which 95, 36, and 114 underwent B-I, B-II, and R-Y reconstructions, respectively. B-II and R-Y were fused into the Non-B-I group due to the similar incidence of overall postoperative complications and OS. Therefore, 108 patients were enrolled after matching. The overall postoperative complications incidence and overall operative time in the B-I group were significantly lower than those in the non-B-I group. Further, multivariable analysis showed that B-I reconstruction was an independent protective factor for overall postoperative complications (odds ratio (OR) 0.366, P=0.017). However, no statistical difference in OS was found between the two groups (hazard ratio (HR) 0.644, P=0.216). Conclusions B-I reconstruction was associated with decreased overall postoperative complications, rather than OS, in GC patients with VO who underwent gastrectomy.

Effect of Double-Channel Anastomosis and Esophagojejunal Anastomosis on Postoperative Recovery and Complications of Laparoscopic D2 Radical Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:8281558. [PMID: 35368937 PMCID: PMC8967533 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8281558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of double-channel anastomosis versus esophagojejunostomy on postoperative recovery and complications after laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for early proximal gastric cancer. The cases were collected from 100 patients with early proximal gastric cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to January 2021. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into control group (total gastrectomy + esophagojejunal anastomosis) and experimental group (D2 radical resection + double-channel anastomosis). The two groups were compared in terms of clinical outcomes (operative time, intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph nodes dissected, digestive tract anastomosis time, postoperative exhaust, and hospitalization days), postoperative complications, and nutritional status; the expression of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of the two groups was detected to reflect the recovery of immune ability. There was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group in clinical operation effect indexes (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications of dumping syndrome and reflux esophagitis in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In terms of postoperative nutritional status, the ratio of plasma albumin level and body weight restored to operation at 12 and 24 weeks after operation in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). 3 months after the operation, the levels of CD3 +, CD4 + cell subsets, and CD4+/CD8+ index reflecting the recovery of immune ability in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the observation group (P < 0.05). The application of double-channel anastomosis in laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for early proximal gastric cancer has a better effect on reducing complications and promoting postoperative recovery, which is of great application value.

Effect of Early Enteral Nutrition Support Combined with Chemotherapy on Related Complications and Immune Function of Patients after Radical Gastrectomy. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:1531738. [PMID: 35126900 PMCID: PMC8813239 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1531738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 01/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective The purpose was to analyze the effect of early enteral nutrition (EEN) support combined with chemotherapy on related complications and immune function in patients after radical gastrectomy. Methods 80 patients with gastric cancer treated in our hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were selected as the research objects and divided into the experimental group and control group according to the random number table, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received chemotherapy only after surgery, while the experimental group received EEN on this basis. The total protein (TP), transferrin (TF), albumin (ALB), immune cells, and other indexes were measured in the two groups before and after treatment to analyze the effect of different treatment methods on the complications and immune function of patients after radical gastrectomy. Results There were no significant differences in gender ratio, average age, average BMI, pathological types, disease staging, and residence between the two groups (P > 0.05). The exhaust recovery time, total gastric tube drainage, fluid intake time, and hospitalization time in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the TP, TF, and ALB levels between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05), and the TP, TF, and ALB levels in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group after treatment (P < 0.05). The CD4+/CD8+, CD3+, and CD4+ levels in the experimental group after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.001). After treatment, the growth hormone levels in both groups significantly increased (P < 0.001), and the growth hormone level in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the KPS scores between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05), and the KPS score in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group after treatment (P < 0.001). The incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion EEN combined with chemotherapy is a reliable method to improve the immune function of patients after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, which plays an important role in improving the physical state of patients and reducing the incidence of complications. Therefore, its further research will help to establish a better treatment plan for such patients.

JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2021; 2021:4747843. [PMID: 34306076 PMCID: PMC8285165 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4747843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Objective To compare the Clavien–Dindo grade and risk factors of complications after dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (DPLDG) and hand-assisted laparoscopic gastrectomy (HALG). Methods The clinical data of 775 patients who underwent DPLDG or HALG in our hospital from May 2016 to May 2019 were retrospectively reviewed, and the patients were divided into the DPLDG group (n = 386) and HALG group (n = 389) according to the surgical method to explore the risk factors of postoperative complications by grading their postoperative complications according to the Clavien–Dindo classification system and single-factor and multivariate analysis of the association between variables in clinical data and complications. Results Compared with the HALG group, the DPLDG group had significantly shorter surgical time, less intraoperative blood loss, and better postoperative exhaust time (p < 0.05), with no significant difference in other clinical indicators between the two groups (p > 0.05); the postoperative complication incidence rate of DPLDG group was significantly lower than that of the HALG group; it was shown in the single-factor analysis that the age, tumor length, intraoperative blood loss, pathological stages, and surgical method were related to the postoperative complications, and the results of multivariate analysis indicated that DPLDG was the protective factor for reducing postoperative complications, while age no less than 60 years old and intraoperative blood loss no less than 180 ml were the independent risk factors leading to complications; after surgery, the PNI level values at T1, T2, and T3 of DPLDG group were significantly higher than those of the HALG group (p < 0.05); and at 1 month after surgery, both groups obtained significantly higher GLQI scores than before, and the GLQI score of the DPLDG group was significantly higher in the between-group comparison (p < 0.05). Conclusion The DPLDG has lower postoperative complication incidence rate than the HALG, but age no less than 60 years old and intraoperative blood loss not less than 180 ml are the independent risk factors for postoperative complications, so advanced prevention measures shall be taken to lower the incidence of complications.
