Objective To evaluate the changes of liver function after laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer and analyze related impact factors. Methods Patients with gastric cancer or colon cancer, who underwent radical gastrectomy or hemicolectomy between Jun 2008 and Jun 2010 in General Hospital of PLA, were included in this study. These patients were divided into open gastrectomy （OG group, n=43）, laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy （LAG group, n=35）, and laparoscopic-assisted hemicolectomy （LAC group, n=23）. The serum AST, ALT, TB, and ALP levels of all patients enrolled on the preoperative day and post operative day （POD） 1, POD3, POD5, and POD7, and related impact factors were analyzed. Results Compared with the preoperative results, serum AST and ALT levels of patients increased until POD5 in both LAG and OG groups （P＜0.05）, and there was no changes in liver function after operation of patients in LAC group （P＞0.05）. In addition to that serum AST and ALT levels of patients in LAG group in POD1 were significantly higher than those in OG group （P=0.035 and P=0.041）， and that serum ALT level of patients in LAG group was significantly lower than that in OG group in POD3 （P=0.048）, serum AST and ALT levels of patients in two groups in the remaining time points were not statistically significant difference （P＞0.05）. The serum AST and ALT levels of patients in LAG group were significantly higher than those in LAC group during 5 d after operation （P＜0.05）.There was no significant changes of serum ALP and TB levels of patients in LAG and OG groups on the before and after operation （P＞0.05）. The increased serum ALT level of gastric cancer patients after operation related to body mass index （BMI, P=0.038）, operative time （P=0.011）, intraoperative hepatic injury （P=0.035）, and abnormal ligation of hepatic artery （P=0.048）, instead of the type of operation （OG vs.LAG, P＞0.05）. Conclusions Gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy have transient liver dysfunction, which attributes mainly to direct liver manipulation or abnormal ligation of hepatic artery, but not CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy is feasible and safe to the patients without serious liver damage or other vital organs disorders.
目的探讨胃底贲门癌患者行全胃切除术后消化道的重建方式。 方法总结我院1999年3月至2002年4月间采用经腹全胃切除保留幽门环间置空肠重建消化道手术的16例胃底贲门癌患者的临床资料。 结果无一例手术死亡， 无吻合口漏及狭窄， 全组患者均治愈出院。 术后半年每餐进食200～300 g， 每日3～4次， 其中蛋白质1 g/（kg·d）， 总热量为2 300～3 000 kcal，餐后无胸骨后灼痛，无胆汁返流现象及排空障碍。结论严格掌握手术适应证，保留幽门环间置空肠重建消化道能起到较好的效果。
ObjectiveTo prospectively study the effect of preventing postoperative reflux esophagitis with esophagogastrostomy and RouxenY gastrojejunostomy after proximal subtotal gastrectomy.MethodsTwentysix cases of carcinoma of the gastric fundus and cardia were allocated randomly to 2 groups (the control group with 12 cases and the experimental group with 14 cases) according to odd or even number of the admission number.After proximal subtotal gastrectomy and esophagogastrostomy, the control group underwent pyloroplasty while the experimental group with pyloruspreserving RouxenY gastrojejunostomy.The inflammatory reaction of the tissue obtained at the esophagogastric junction using a fiber gastroscope was observed after half year of postoperative followup in the two groups.An examination of gastric emptying of a radionuclidelabeled test meal were performed.According to the Visick score of followup data,the effects of operation were evaluated.The 5year survival rate was also evaluated.ResultsThe postoperative gastrointestinal symptoms in the experimental group were slighter than those in the control group.The examination of gastric emptying of a radionuclidelabeled test meal showed that the gastric emptying time of a half dose,gastric remains rates of radionuclide after 10 min and 60 min in the experimental group were similar to those in the control healthy people group.But in the control group,the gastric emptying time of a half dose delayed,and the gastric remains rate of radionuclide after 10 min and 60 min were higher than the other groups.The biopsy study of the esophagogastric junction showed that the inflammatory reaction in the experimental group was slighter than that in the control group.There was no significant difference between the two groups in the survival rate.ConclusionFor patients with carcinoma of the gastric fundus and cardia, after proximal subtotal gastrectomy and esophagogastrostomy,compared with pyloroplasty,pyloruspreserving RouxenY gastrojejunostomy can decrease the reflux esophagitis,and relieve the postoperative gastrointestinal symptoms.
Objective To study the clinical significance of total gastrectomy in treatment for gastric cardia cancer.Methods The clinical data of 118 patients with gastric cardia cancer underwent operation from May 1997 to October 2012 in the Department of General Surgery of Baiyin Hospital， Affiliated to Lanzhou University were analyzed retrospe-ctively. Among these 118 patients， there were 65 patients treated by total gastrectomy （total gastrectomy group） and 53patients treated by proximal gastrectomy （proximal gastrectomy group）. The postoperative complications， survival rate，quality of life， and nutrition indexes were compared after operation between the total gastrectomy group and the prox-imal gastrectomy group. Results ① The incidence of postoperative complications was 7.7% （5/65） and 13.2% （7/53） in the total gastrectomy group and the proximal gastrectomy group， respectively， the difference was not statistically signi-ficant （χ2=0.972， P=0.248）. ② 1-， 3-， and 5-year survival rate after operation were 63.1%， 46.2%， and 30.8% in thetotal gastrectomy group；which were 66.0%， 36.9%， and 18.5% in the proximal gastrectomy group. The difference of 1-year survival rate after operation was not statistically significant in two groups （χ2=0.193， P=0.402）， the 3- and the 5-year survival rates of the total gastrectong group were significantly higher than those of the proximal gastrectony group （χ2=4.508， P=0.022；χ2=30.271， P=0.000）. ③ The Spitzer quality of life score had no difference at the different timeafter operation in two groups （P＞0.05）. Compared with the proximal gastrectomy group， the points of heartburn， swallo-wing problem， appetite， and food intake on 12 months after operation in the total gastrectomy group were higher （P＜0.05）， the points of the other indexes had no significant differences （P＞0.05）. ④ The nutrition indexes after operationhad no differences at the different time after operation in two groups （P＞0.05）. Conclusions Total gastrectomy in treatment for gastric cardia cancer would not increase complications， also can improve 5-year survival for patients withⅠ-Ⅲ stage， and survival condition after operation is also much better than that of proximal gastrectomy.
