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.

134 Background: Proximal gastrectomy (PG) has been performed for proximal early gastric cancer as a minimally invasive procedure. In PG, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) becomes problem, thus several techniques have been reported to reduce GERD. So far, we have mainly performed the method of anastomosis based on double stapling technique (DST) using a trans-oral anvil delivery system for reconstruction after PG. For preventing GERD, we recently introduced double-flap technique (DFT) reported to be more physiological anti-reflux reconstruction which can prevent GERD. So, this study shows superiority of DFT compared to DST. Methods: Patients who have undergone PG for proximal gastric cancer during Jan. 2012 to Jul. 2017 in our hospital were reviewed as candidates. Operation time, blood loss, postoperative anastomotic complication, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative reflux symptom or endoscopic findings, intake of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) at 1 year after the operation, and postoperative nutritional status were retrospectively investigated. Results: DFT was performed in 26 patients whereas DST was performed in 38 patients. Average operation time and postoperative hospital stay was not significant in both groups (DFT group; 275.8±41.4 minutes, 13.6±8.9 days, DST group; 252.2±82.9 minutes, 15.2±7.2 days, respectively). As for postoperative complications higher than Clavien-Dindo Grade III, one case of suture failure was observed in DFT group. Postoperative reflux symptoms and endoscopic findings of gastroesophageal reflux were significantly frequent in DST group compared to DFT group (Reflux symptoms, DFT group : DST group = 0 : 7(p = 0.03), Endoscopic findings, DFT group : DST group = 1 : 11(p < 0.01) , respectively). There were significantly more cases of PPI taking one year after the operation in DST group(DFT group : DST group = 8 : 28 (p < 0.01) ). Average weight loss at one year after the operation and serum level of albumin of in DFT group were 6.0±4.7kg and 4.11±0.29 g/dL, respectively and DST group were 7.6±5.3kg and 3.95±0.39 g/dL, respectively and there were no significance between two groups. Conclusions: DFT is superior to DST as a reconstruction method after PG in terms of suppressing GERD.
