Article Synopsis
- The study compares Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction with Billroth-I (B-I) reconstruction after distal gastrectomy, focusing on the use of two circular staplers for R-Y to reduce bile reflux.
- A total of 118 patients participated, with 59 undergoing R-Y and 59 receiving B-I; the primary goal was to assess bile reflux through endoscopic and histological evaluations six months post-surgery.
- Results indicated that while R-Y had a longer anastomosis time, it significantly decreased bile reflux and associated gastritis compared to B-I, suggesting that R-Y is a safe and effective method.
Purpose: The role of peritoneal washing cytology in determining further treatment strategies after surgery for gastric cancer remains unclear. One reason for this is the fact that optimal procedures to increase the accuracy of predicting peritoneal metastasis have not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cytology using samples harvested from two different abdominal cavity sites during gastric cancer surgery.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed 425 patients who underwent gastric cancer surgery between January 2011 and December 2011 and were managed with conventional clinical therapies. This clinical algorithm was made when the patient was in minimally invasive surgery group and discharged from hospital one day faster than them in open surgery group.
Background: Determining resection margins for gastric cancer, which generally is not exposed to the serosal surface of the stomach, is the most important priority during totally laparoscopic gastrectomy (TLG). This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of intraoperative gastroscopy for direct marking of tumors during TLG for gastric cancer in the middle third of the stomach.
Methods: From May 2011 through July 2012, 20 patients with a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in the middle third of the stomach were enrolled in this case series.
