Background: In this study, the accuracy of preoperative staging for gastric stump cancer, which has not been thoroughly investigated since the condition is rare, was investigated using computed tomography and gastroscopic imaging.

Methods: Between February 1994 and April 2018, 49 patients with gastric stump cancer, following subtotal or total gastrectomy, were reviewed retrospectively. Preoperative diagnoses of clinical T and clinical N categories were compared with post-operative pathological diagnoses (pT and pN categories). Positive predictive values, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were also evaluated.

Results: The overall accuracy of T staging was 40.8%. The positive predictive value for cT3/T4 was 96.3%, whereas the positive predictive value for cT1/T2 was 72.7%. The overall accuracy for N staging was 61.2%. The positive predictive value of lymph node positive patients was 73.3%. The positive predictive value and sensitivity of over stage II were 96.6% and 84.8%, respectively.

Conclusions: The accuracy of preoperative diagnosis using both computed tomography and gastroscopy imaging may be feasible for T3/T4 advanced gastric stump cancer, whereas diagnosing T1/2 gastric stump cancer must be carefully considered due to high misdiagnosis rates, relating to depth.

Background: Duodenal stump leakage is one of the most critical complications following gastrectomy surgery, with a high mortality rate. The present study aimed to establish a predictive model based on machine learning for forecasting the occurrence of duodenal stump leakage in patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Materials And Methods: The present study included the data of 4,070 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who received laparoscopic gastrectomy.

Surgical Technique and Safety of Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer with Duodenal Invasion, Including Minimally Invasive Approach.

Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe University, 7-5-2, Kusunoki-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo, 650-0017, Japan. Electronic address:

Background: Gastrectomy for gastric cancer with duodenal invasion poses an oncological (high positive rate of resection line infiltration) and a surgical (high risk of duodenal fistula) challenge. The purpose of this study was to validate the safety of gastrectomy for gastric cancer with duodenal invasion.

Methods: We included 82 patients with distal gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy and reconstruction via the Bill-II or R-Y procedure at Kobe University Hospital between 2011 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.

Gastric remnant volvulus following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is rare, with only two previously reported cases. Herein, we present the first case of gastric remnant volvulus following gastric sleeve conversion to RYGB in a 32-year-old female. Management for gastric remnant volvulus has not been clearly described in the literature due to the rarity of cases; however, previously documented cases of gastric remnant volvulus following RYGB were managed with gastropexy or resection of the gastric remnant.

An 80-year-old man underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, D2 lymphadenectomy, and Billroth Ⅰ reconstruction for gastric cancer. The short gastric artery and vein were completely preserved. The patient developed a fever on the second postoperative day, and a blood test on the third day showed high inflammation findings, and contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed decreased gastric wall blood flow of the anal side of the remnant stomach.

Article Synopsis
  • A retrospective study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of a modified technique for managing pancreatic remnants during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) in 63 patients at a hospital in Ningbo University.
  • Patients were divided into two groups: one using the new gastric coverage technique and the other a standard stapler-and-hand-sewn method for closing the pancreatic remnant.
  • The results showed the experimental group had significantly lower rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) compared to the control group, indicating the modified technique may be more effective in reducing complications without affecting other surgical parameters.
