Abstract Introduction: Proximal gastrectomy is one of the modified surgical approaches for early gastric cancer located in the upper stomach instead of total gastrectomy. The preserving stomach helps for storage, digestion, and absorption of food and prevents anemia. Proximal gastrectomy with jejunal interinterposition has been reported to prevent and diminuate postoperative complications, such as reflux esophagitis and anastomotic stricture. Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) with jejunal interposition has been reported in the world with promising results. Aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and results of LPG with jejunal interposition for proximal early gastric cancer. Material and Methods: Descriptive prospective study ofconsecutive cases of laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer located in the upper stomach was conducted at Department of Digestive Surgery of Cho Ray hospital from 1/2015 to 6/2018, . Results: Of 8 cases of LPG for early gastric cancer located in the upper stomach was enrolled. Patients mean age was 55,5. Male/female ratio was 3/1. Tumor located at cardia in 7 cases and in fundus in 1 case. All the tumors were adenocarcinoma at cT1N0M0 stage. Mean operative time was 150 minutes. There was no intraoperative accident. Mean harvested lymph nodes were 5. There was no lymph node metastasis. No morbidity was noted. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 7 days. All patients tolerated well with food and have no regurgitation. With mean follow-up period of 28 months, there was no recurrence and mortality. Conclusion: Our initial case series demonstrated that LPG with jejunal interposition is a feasible, safe procedure and offering good functional and oncological outcomes. Futher follow-up time and more data should be needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this operation.

Abstract Objective Proximal gastrectomy acts as a function-preserving operation for upper-third gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term surgical outcomes between proximal gastrectomy with gastric tube reconstruction and proximal gastrectomy with jejunal interposition reconstruction in upper-third gastric cancer. Methods A retrospective review of 301 patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy with jejunal interposition (JI) or gastric tube (GT) at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital between June 2007 and December 2016 was performed. The Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) and Visick grade were used to evaluate postgastrectomy syndromes. Gastrointestinal fiberoscopy was used to evaluate the prevalence and severity of reflux esophagitis based on the Los Angeles (LA) classification system. Results The JI group had a longer operation time than the GT group (220 ± 52 vs 182 ± 50 min), but no significant difference in blood loss was noted. Compared to the GT group, the Visick grade and GSRS score were significantly higher. Reflux esophagitis was significantly increased in the GT group compared with the JI group. Conclusion Proximal gastrectomy is well tolerated with excellent short-term outcomes in patients with upper-third gastric cancer. Compared with GT construction, JI construction has clear functional advantages and may provide better quality of life for patients with upper-third gastric cancer.

Abstract Background Proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (DTR) has been used for upper third gastric cancer as a function-preserving procedure. However, the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) with DTR remain uncertain. This study compared open proximal gastrectomy (OPG) with DTR and LPG with DTR for proximal gastric cancer. Methods Sixty-four patients who had undergone OPG with DTR and forty-six patients who had undergone LPG with DTR were enrolled in this case–control study. The clinical characteristics, surgical outcomes and postoperative nutrition index were analysed retrospectively. Results The operation time was significantly longer in the LGP group than in the OPG group (258.3 min vs 205.8 min; p = 0.00). However, the time to first flatus and postoperative hospital stay were shorter in the LPG group [4.0 days vs 3.5 days (p = 0.00) and 10.6 days vs 9.2 days (p = 0.001), respectively]. No significant difference was found between the two groups in the number of retrieved lymph nodes, complications or reflux oesophagitis. The nutrition status was assessed using the haemoglobin, albumin, prealbumin and weight levels from pre-operation to six months after surgery. No significant difference was found between the groups. Conclusion LPG with DTR can be safely performed for proximal gastric cancer patients by experienced surgeons.
