Article Synopsis
- - Obturator hernia is a rare condition typically seen in elderly patients, making its diagnosis tricky and raising risks of serious complications like morbidity and mortality.
- - A case study of an 83-year-old woman revealed that early diagnosis using CT and emergency surgery were crucial to prevent severe issues like bowel necrosis, emphasizing the need for prompt intervention.
- - The discussion highlights the comparison of surgical methods (open vs. laparoscopic) for hernia repair, stressing that individual patient conditions should guide the choice of technique, while also suggesting further research to better understand the long-term outcomes of each approach.
Objective: Functional outcomes were prospectively compared between the standard Roux-en-Y and Double-tract reconstruction following a total gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy.
Methods: One hundred ten patients with gastric cancer were divided into two groups by the type of reconstruction. Age, gender, T stage, AJCC stage, length of operation, BMI (body mass index, kg/m2), time to soft diet, postoperative leakage of the esophagojejunostomy (EJS), stricture of the EJS, meal intake, and quality of life (QOL) were recorded.
