Single Incision Plus One Port Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy with Double Channel Anastomosis for Gastric Cancer Treatment

Abstract:
Forty-two patients with postgastroresection peptic ulcers of the zone of gastrojejunal anastomoses were examined. The cause of the appearance of the ulcers was the action of aggressive content of the gastric stump on the jejunum in the area of anastomosis. "Vagal" peptic ulcers were found by the gastrocepin test. After operations reducing the stump acidity healing of all the ulcers was noted. In achlorhydria of the stump the digestion in it is realized due to reflux at the expense of pancreas proteinases.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...
Gastric Phase of Digestion
When food enters the stomach, it stretches the stomach walls and activates stretch receptors. This triggers local reflexes of the enteric nervous system, mediated through the myenteric plexus. These...
