The clinical effectiveness of establishing a proximal jejunum pouch after laparoscopic total gastrectomy: A propensity score-based analysis

Summary: Background: In this study, we propose an improved Roux-en-Y (RY) surgical method by constructing a proximal jejunum pouch (PP-RY). Postoperative results were evaluated among patients with gastric cancer who underwent PP-RY and standard RY anastomosis. Methods: The clinical data of patients...

description Summary: Background: In this study, we propose an improved Roux-en-Y (RY) surgical method by constructing a proximal jejunum pouch (PP-RY). Postoperative results were evaluated among patients with gastric cancer who underwent PP-RY and standard RY anastomosis. Methods: The clinical data of patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) in our center from May 2019 to May 2020 were collected retrospectively. We compared the short-term results of patients in the PP-RY and RY groups using 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM). Results: A total of 317 patients were selected, including those who received RY (n = 249) or PP-RY (n = 68) after LTG. After PSM, both groups had a sample size of 68. During the one-year follow-up period, the incidences of postoperative dumping syndrome (5.6%) and reflux esophagitis (14.8%) were significantly lower in the PP-RY group (P = 0.001 and P = 0.010, respectively). Weight loss (6.5 ± 2.0 kg) and albumin decrease (0.2 ± 0.1 g/dl) were significantly lower (P = 0.038 and P < 0.001, respectively), and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was significantly higher in the PP-RY group (P = 0.009). In the QLQ-C30 scale, the degree of anorexia in the PP-RY group was significantly lower than that in the RY group (P<0.05). In the QLQ-STO22 scale, chest and abdomen pain, dietary restriction, and anxiety were significantly lower in the PP-RY group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: PP-RY can lead to obvious improvements in nutritional status, reduce short-term complications, and improve quality of life (QoL) for patients after LTG.
