Summary

Jejunal pouch interposition with fundic-like jejunal plication (JPI-FP) improves nutritional status and prevents bile reflux after total gastrectomy (TG). This JPI-FP reconstruction is superior to Roux-en-Y (R-Y) for gastric cancer patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Surgical Reconstruction

Background:

  • Total gastrectomy (TG) for gastric cancer necessitates complex reconstruction.
  • Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction is a common method, but can lead to complications.
  • Alternative reconstruction techniques are being explored to improve patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of jejunal pouch interposition with fundic-like jejunal plication (JPI-FP) for reconstruction after TG.
  • To compare the outcomes of JPI-FP with traditional Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction.
  • To assess the impact of pylorus preservation within the JPI-FP technique.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 22 patients who underwent TG more than one year prior.

  • Patients were divided into two groups: Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction (n=7) and JPI-FP reconstruction (n=15).
  • The JPI-FP group was further analyzed based on pylorus preservation (pylorus-negative vs. pylorus-positive).

    • Main Results:

    • Patients undergoing JPI-FP (Group B) showed significantly higher food intake and body weight compared to the R-Y group (Group A).
    • Reflux esophagitis and excessive esophageal bile exposure were significantly reduced in the JPI-FP group compared to the R-Y group.
    • No significant difference in jejunal pouch bile exposure was observed between JPI-FP subgroups with or without pylorus preservation.

    Conclusions:

    • Jejunal pouch interposition with fundic-like jejunal plication (JPI-FP) is a superior reconstruction method after total gastrectomy (TG).
    • JPI-FP effectively prevents excessive esophageal bile reflux and improves nutritional outcomes.
    • The specific benefit of pylorus preservation in conjunction with JPI-FP requires further investigation.
