Abstract:
Objective
To investigate the effect of modified self-traction post-dissection (SPLT)esophagojejunostomy in laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG).
Methods
The clinical data of 180 patients with gastric cancer who received LTG from January 2019 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into modified SPLT group and Roux-en-Y group according to different intraoperative esophagojejunal anastomosis methods.In the modified SPLT group, 120 patients underwent modified SPLT esophagojejunostomy, and in the Roux-en-Y group, 60 patients underwent traditional esophagojejunostomy.SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the data.Surgical indicators, intestinal mucosal barrier function indicators and other measurement data were expressed as (x±s), and independent sample t test was used.The statistical data of postoperative complications were analyzed by χ2 test.P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Results
Operation time, anastomosis time, intraoperative blood loss, intestinal sound recovery time and postoperative VAS score in modified SPLT group were significantly lower than those in Roux-en-Y group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in hospital stay and number of lymph nodes dissection between the two groups (P>0.05).The overall incidence of postoperative complications in the modified SPLT group was significantly lower than that in the Roux-en-Y group (5.8% vs.16.7%, P<0.05).The serum levels of D-lactate (D-LAC), diamine oxidase (DAO) and endotoxin (ET) in 2 groups were significantly increased after surgery (P<0.05), but the three indexes in modified SPLT group were significantly lower than those in Rouxen-Y group (P<0.05).
Conclusion
The application of modified SPLT esophagojejunostomy in LTG can not only simplify the anastomosis process, shorten the operation time and reduce the intraoperative injury, but also reduce the postoperative pain of patients and reduce the risk of complications.Besides, it has less impact on the intestinal mucosal barrier function and is more conducive to the recovery of gastrointestinal function, which is worthy of promotion.
