Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of two “half pocket” suture embedding method in strengthening duodenal stump during radical gastrectomy of gastric cancer.
Methods The clinical data of 194 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy from December 2018 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different methods of strengthening duodenal stump during the operation,two “half-bag” suture embedding method were used in the observation group(110 cases),and sarcomuscular suture embedding method was used in the control group(84 cases). SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis,and the perioperative indicators(
±s)of the two groups were compared by independent sample
t test,and postoperative complications(%)were compared by
χ2 test.
P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Results None of the patients died. The incidence of duodenal stump leakage in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(0% vs. 3.6%, P = 0.046). The ratio of duodenal stump length ≤0.5 cm in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group(27.3% vs. 13.1%,P = 0.016). Duodenal embedding time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group[(2.5 ± 0.8)vs.(4.7 ± 0.9)min,P < 0.001].
Conclusion The occurrence of duodenal stump leakage can be significantly reduced by using two “half pocket” suture embedding method to strengthen duodenal stump during radical gastrectomy. The embedding time of the method is short,the operation is simple,and the embedding difficulty caused by the short duodenal stump can be solved. Therefore,this method is worth popularizing and applying in gastric cancer surgery.
