Digestive tract reconstruction using isoperistaltic jejunum-later-cut overlap method after totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: Short-term outcomes and impact on quality of life
World Journal of Gastroenterology Oct 30, 2017
Huang ZN, et al. - The clinicians evaluated the short-term outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in gastric cancer patients undergoing digestive tract reconstruction with isoperistaltic jejunum-later-cut overlap method (IJOM) after totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) and with Roux-en-Y anastomosis after laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) using propensity-score matching (PSM) and a QoL assessment scale. Following TLTG, the IJOM for digestive tract reconstruction was correlated with reduced blood loss and less pain and dysphagia, therefore improving QoL after laparoscopic gastrectomy.
