Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is an autosomal dominant inherited cancer predisposition syndrome characterized by susceptibility to diffuse gastric and lobular breast cancers. Since current screening options for diffuse gastric cancer are ineffective, prophylactic total gastrectomy (PTG) is a recommended option for unaffected germline CDH1 mutation carriers. It is unknown whether pregnancy after surgery is possible or advisable due to potential maternal nutritional deficiencies. In this report we describe the pregnancy outcomes in three CDH1 mutation positive women after PTG and in a CDH1 mutation negative woman after total gastrectomy for early gastric cancer.

Background: Esophagojejunal anastomotic fistula (EJF) following radical total gastrectomy is a severe perioperative complication in patients with gastric cancer, particularly as delayed fistula healing increases hospitalization costs and leads to poor prognosis. Numerous factors influence the occurrence and progression of EJF, with inflammation and nutritional status being significant contributors to perioperative complications. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the prediction of delayed EJF healing based on postoperative clinical and imaging-related inflammation-nutrition status.

Comparison of the safety of esophagojejunal overlap and π-shaped anastomosis in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy.

BMC Surg

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Carcinogenesis and Translational Research (Ministry of Education/Beijing), Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery IV, Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute, Beijing, 100142, China.

Background: Globally, totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy is increasingly being accepted by surgeons for the treatment of gastric cancer. Overlap anastomosis and π-shaped anastomosis are the two most commonly used anastomosis methods in total laparoscopic surgery; however, their safety and suitability for the population are still unclear.

Methods: A total of 162 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent total laparoscopic total gastrectomy with overlap or π-shaped anastomosis were retrospectively analyzed.
