Motor function was investigated by constant perfusion manometry in the Roux limb of ten patients who had undergone total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Results showed that in the fasting state, the migrating motor complex (MMC) was comletely absent, retrograde in direction or bursts of nonphasic pressure activity. Reduced motor activity patterns occurred after the meal in some patients. Four patients failed to convert fasting state into the feeding state. Total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y anastomoses provakes a relatively severe distubance in motor function, which could contribute to postoperative upper abdominal distress.
Objective To assess the influence of different digestive tract reconstruction on the blood glucose of gastric antral cancer patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods The clinical data of 51 cases of gastric antral cancer with type 2 diabetes treated radical surgery in this hospital from January 2006 to January 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into three groups according to the different digestive tract reconstruction methods：BillrothⅠ anastomosis group （n=14）， BillrothⅡ anastomosis group （n=28）， and Roux-en-Y anastomosis group （n=9）. The indexes were analyzed and compared among three groups：① The levels of fast blood glucose （FBG） and 2h postprandial blood glucose （PG2h） were detected before operation and on 1 month and 6 months after the operation；② The level of glycated hemoglobin （HbA1c） was detected before operation and 6 months after the operation；③ The diabetes control was observed. Results The FBG and PG2h levels in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group detected on 1 month and 6 months after the operation were not statistically different from those detected before the operation （P＞0.05）. The FBG and PG2h levels in the BillrothⅡanastomosis group and Roux-en-Y anastomosis group detected on 1 month and 6 months after the operation were significantly lower than those before the operation respectively （P＜0.05）. The FBG and PG2h levels in the BillrothⅡ anastomosis group detected on 1 month and 6 months after the operation were not statistically different from those in the Roux-en-Y anastomosis group respectively （P＞0.05）， but which were markedly lower than those in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group， the differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05）. The HbA1c levels in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group detected before the operation and on 6 months after the operation were not statistically different from each other （P＞0.05）. The HbA1c levels in the BillrothⅡ anastomosis group and Roux-en-Y anastomosis group detected on 6 months after the operation were markedly lower than those before the operation and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. On 6 months after the operation， the HbA1c levels in the BillrothⅡanastomosis group and Roux-en-Y anastomosis group were markedly lower than those in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group and the differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05）；the HbA1c level was not statistically different between the BillrothⅡ anastomosis group and the Roux-en-Y anastomosis group （P＞0.05）. The total curative effects in the BillrothⅡ anastomosis and Roux-en-Y anastomosis groups were significantly better than those in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group （P＜0.05）. Conclusion According to our limited clinical data， BillrothⅡ anastomosis and Roux-en-Y anastomosis for gastric antral cancer patients with type 2 diabetes may be the best surgical approach.
Objective To describe a new technique for digestive tract reconst ruction of total gast rectomy.Methods The modified functional jejunal interposition ( FJ I) was performed in 38 patient s who underwent total gastrectomy between June 2004 and March 2006. At digestive tract reconst ruction, the jejunum with suitable suture ligated at 2 cm distal to side-to-end jejunoduodenostomy was changed to sew up 2－3 needles and to narrow it . End-to-side esophagojejunostomy to Treitz ligament was shortened to 20－25 cm befittingly. Side2to2side jejunojejunostomy to Treitz ligament was 10 cm. Both esophagojejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy must not be tensioned. Results No patients died or had anastomotic leakage in perioperative period. Roux-en-Y stasis syndrome (RSS) was in 2 patients. The Visick grade: 35 patient s were grade Ⅰ, 3 patient s were grade Ⅱ. Serum nut ritional parameters in 2 patients hemoglobin was only lower than normal. At 6 months after operation , food intake per meal and body weight were recovered to the preoperative level in 36 patients, and only 2 patients appeared weight worse. One patient had reflux esophagitis and no dumping syndrome occurred. Through the upper gast rointestinal radiograph , the bariums entered into duodenal channels mostly , and a little into the narrow channels. Conclusion The modified FJ I not only reserved all advantages of the primary procedure , but also could further lower the complications and improve of the quantity life of the patients who were underwent total gast rectomy. It would be necessary for further prospective randomized controlled trial in tlhe largescale cases.
Objective To investigate for a reasonable reconstruction method in patients undergoing total gastrectomy. Methods Data of 63 cases receiving total gastrectomy from January 2000 to October 2005 in Ganzhou District Hospital of Zhangye City were analyzed retrospectively, and the patients were divided into double pouch jejunum interposition （DPJI） group (n=30) and Roux-en-Y ρ pouch （RYρ） group (n=33) according to the operation methods, then operation time， morbidity of complications, amount and frequency of meat and drink, complications of digestive tract, amount of total protein and albumin were compared between two groups. Results There were no significant differences in operation time，morbidity of complications, the amount or frequency of meat and drink between two groups (Pgt;0.05); but the incidence of digestive tract complications of DPJI group was lower than that of RYρ group （P＜0.05). GradeⅠ/Ⅱof Vervaeck index and the amount of total protein and albumin in DPJI group were statistical significantly higher than those of RYρ group （P＜0.05）. Conclusion Functional DPJI is a reasonable digestive tract reconstruction method.
Objective
To summarize recent progress of three types of basic digestive tract reconstruction methods after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Methods
Recent domestic and international literatures about three types of basic digestive tract reconstruction methods after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer were collected and analyzed.
Results
Of the three types of basic digestive tract reconstruction methods, BillrothⅠanastomosis had the most obvious advantage compared to BillrothⅡanastomosis and Roux-en Y anastomosis, but it was limited by tumor' size. The performance of BillrothⅡanastomosis was relatively easier but its complication risk was higher. Roux-en-Y anastomosis was superior in body weight control and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and had a wider indication than the other two types of methods. The modified uncut Roux-en-Y anastomosis was easier to perform under laparoscopic surgery.
Conclusions
Each method of the three types of basic digestive tract reconstruction methods after distal gastrectomy has its own superiority and indication. Therefore, the choice of digestive tract reconstruction method after distal gastrectomy should be case by case.
