Objective: To determine if an antecolic or a retrocolic duodenojejunostomy during pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PpPD) was associated with the least incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE), in a prospective, randomized, controlled trial.
Summary Background Data: The pathogenesis of DGE after PpPD has been speculated to be related to factors such as inflammation, ischemia, gastric atony, motilin levels, and type of surgical procedure. Previous retrospective studies have shown a lower incidence of DGE after antecolic duodenojejunostomy. A prospective trial is needed.
Methods: Forty patients were enrolled in this trial between May 2002 and April 2004. Just before duodenojejunostomy during PpPD, the patients were randomly assigned to undergo either an antecolic or a retrocolic duodenojejunostomy.
Results: DGE occurred in 5% of patients with the antecolic route for duodenojejunostomy versus 50% with the retrocolic route (P = 0.0014). Those with the antecolic route had a significantly shorter duration of postoperative nasogastric tube drainage than did those with the retrocolic route (4.2 days versus 18.9 days, respectively, P = 0.047). By postoperative day 14, all patients with the antecolic route could take solid foods, while only 55% (11 of 20) of the patients with the retrocolic route could take solid foods (P = 0.0007). The length of stay in the hospital was 28 days for the antecolic group versus 48 days for the retrocolic group (P = 0.018).
Conclusions: Antecolic reconstruction for duodenojejunostomy during PpPD decreases postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay by decreasing DGE. Our data suggest that PpPD with antecolic duodenojejunostomy is a safer operation.

Comparison of the survival outcomes between retrocolic and antecolic Roux-en-Y reconstruction after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Background: There are two methods of Roux-en-Y (RY) reconstruction after gastrectomy: the antecolic route (ACR) and retrocolic route (RCR). There is no evidence to support that the ACR achieves comparable long-term survival.
Methods: This was a multi-center historical cohort study.

Background: Pancreatic head resection following proximal gastrectomy jeopardizes the blood flow of the remnant stomach owing to right gastroepiploic conduit sacrifice, thereby necessitating total gastrectomy. However, owing to its high invasiveness, concomitant remnant total gastrectomy with pancreatectomy should be avoided as much as possible. Herein, we describe our experience of total pancreatectomy with right gastroepiploic conduit preservation in a patient with a history of proximal gastrectomy and reconstruction by jejunum interposition.

Backgrounds/aims: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is commonly performed pancreatic procedure for tumors of periampullary region. Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and pancreatic fistula are the most common specific complications following PD. DGE can lead to significant morbidity, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased cost.

Background: Roux stasis syndrome (RSS) after Roux-en-Y (RY) reconstruction significantly prolongs the hospital stay and decreases the quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of RSS in patients who underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer and to identify the factors related to the development of RSS after mechanical RY reconstruction in minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
Methods: This study included 134 patients who underwent distal gastrectomy in MIS with mechanical RY anastomosis.

Background: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), but a method to prevent DGE has not been established. This study aims to demonstrate a novel technique utilizing a lengthened efferent limb in Billroth-II (B-II) reconstruction during PD and to evaluate the impact of the longer efferent limb on DGE occurrence.
Methods: Patients who underwent PD with B-II reconstruction were divided into two groups: PDs with lengthened (50-60 cm) efferent limb (L group) and standard length (0-30 cm) efferent limb (S group).
