Intussusception after reconstruction following gastrectomy for gastric cancer

Background Gastric cancer is the most prevalent tumor in Chinese men, and surgery is currently the most important treatment. Billroth II and Roux-en-Y are the anastomosis methods used for reconstruction after gastrectomy. Jejunal intussusception is a rare complication after gastric surgery. Main Body Intussusception after gastric surgery occurs mostly at the gastrojejunostomy site for Billroth II reconstruction, and the Y-anastomosis site for Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Many studies have reported that postoperative intussusception appears at the anastomosis after bariatric surgery, while a few have reported intussusception at the anastomosis and its distal end after radical gastrectomy. Conclusion A review was carried out to analyze intussusception after radical gastrectomy with roux-en-y anastomosis during the current situation. And the relevant mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment methods, etc. are described, hoping to provide better guidance for clinicians

Laparoscopic trans-cystic common bile duct exploration and treatment of choledocholithiasis in a patient with Roux-en-Y reconstruction after gastrectomy: report of an emergency case

We present the case of choledocholithiasis with purulent cholangitis treated with laparoscopic approach in a patient with Roux-en-Y reconstruction after total gastrectomy. After cholangiography, the common bile duct was explored with trans-cystic choledochoscopy and the retained stone extracted under direct vision.

Methods of gastrointestinal tract reconstruction after gastrectomy for gastric cancer

Stomach cancer is the third most deadly cancer in the world. Undoubtedly, the operative method is a priority in the treatment of stomach cancer. The history of development, formation and improvement of gastric cancer surgery dates back almost 140 years. During this time, the priority of numerous studies was to develop the most reliable and physiological method of reconstruction after gastrectomy. To date, the literature describes more than 70 different options for reconstruction after gastrectomy, many of which are used in practice. Globally, there are two main types of reconstructive stages after gastrectomy: without preservation and with preservation of the duodenal passage. The advantages and disadvantages of these stages after gastrectomy continue to be the subject of heated discussions among surgeons, as studies of the immediate and long-term results of various types of these operations are extremely contradictory. We did a historical literature review to identify the most optimal reconstruction method in patients with gastric cancer after gastrectomy.

Importance of Selection a Method of Reconstruction of Digestive Continuity After Gastrectomy

Introduction: Gastrectomy is one of the most common surgical methods for the treatment of gastric cancer, which basically destroys the mechanism and digestion chemistry. Reconstruction after gastrectomy attempts to optimize the antireflux and nutritive component of the postgastrectomic syndrome.Objective: To determine which reconstructive method after gastrectomy has the optimal synthesis of antireflux and nutritional components.Patients and Methods: 111 patients were treated for gastric malignancies at the Surgical Clinic of the University Clinical Center in Banja Luka, which were operated with the intention of achieving curability.Results: Based on Fisher’s exact probability test there is no statistically significant difference (p> 0.05) in mortality compared to the restoration of digestive continuity after gastrectomy. Reflux oesophagitis is the dominant modality of morbidity in omega-loop reconstruction (p <0.05). There is no statistically significant difference (p> 0.05) in late dumping syndrome in patients relative to individual gastric substitution options. In the Hunt-Lawrence-Rodino pouch reconstruction option, there is no statistically significant difference (p> 0.05) in the participation of individual modalities of meal quantity in relation to the condition before the disease or the modality of the nutritional status. .Conclusion: The results indicate the antireflux component of reconstruction Roux en Y and the advantage of the nutritive component in the loop modification (the creation of the Hunt-Lawrence-Rodino pouch).
