Billroth-I anastomosis in distal subtotal gastrectomy for non-early gastric adenocarcinoma.

Background: Billroth-I (B-I) anastomosis is known as a simple and physiological reconstruction method after distal subtotal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer. Yet its role and oncological validity in non-early gastric adenocarcinoma (NEGA) remain unclear.

Patients And Methods: Patients with NEGA without distant metastases operated between May 2004 and December 2020 were included.

Recurrence After Colectomy for Locally Advanced Colon Cancer: Experience from a Developing Country.

Unlabelled: Risk factors for disease recurrence following curative resection for locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) remain unclear as conflicting results have been reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to examine these factors in the setting of developing country's health care system affected by limited accessibility to the multimodal cancer treatment. Patients who had undergone curative colon resection for LACC between 2004 and 2018 were included.

Standard and multivisceral colectomy in locally advanced colon cancer.

Background Management of locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) is challenging. Surgery is the mainstay of the treatment, yet its outcomes remain unclear, especially in the setting of multivisceral resections. The aim of the study was to examine the outcomes of standard and multivisceral colectomy in patients with LACC.

Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer in Patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m².

Obesity is a major health issue in the modern world population and a risk factor for surgical procedures. This study examined perioperative and oncologic results of gastrectomy in obese patients diagnosed with gastric cancer. BMI ≥30 kg/m² was used to designate obesity.

Gastrectomy for Metastatic Gastric Cancer: a 15-year Experience from a Developing Country.

The role of surgery in the management of metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical and oncologic outcomes of gastrectomy in patients with MGC. The study included prospectively collected data of patients with MGC operated at four medical centers in Yerevan, Armenia, between 2000 and 2014.

Extended Gastrectomy for T4b Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Single-Surgeon Experience.

Purpose: This study reports single-surgeon experience with extended gastrectomy including en-bloc resection of adjacent organs/structures for T4b stage gastric adenocarcinoma. Time-related changes in patient selection criteria and outcomes were also analyzed.

Methods: All consecutive gastrectomies for adenocarcinoma performed between May 2004 and December 2017 were extracted from prospectively collected database to study surgical and oncologic results.
