Summary
Total gastrectomy (TG) complications were analyzed. Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy showed fewer adverse outcomes than Omega-Braun TG, suggesting it is the safer technique for gastric cancer surgery.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Oncology
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
Background:
- Total gastrectomy (TG) is the standard for curative gastric cancer resection.
- TG disrupts alimentary tract continuity and carries significant postoperative risks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report postoperative complication rates after TG.
- To analyze adverse outcomes associated with TG.
- To compare the safety of Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy versus Omega-Braun TG.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective observational study of 77 gastric carcinoma patients undergoing TG.
- Data collected from January 2010 to December 2012.
- Statistical analysis using GraphPad (p<0.05 significance).
Main Results:
- 47.5% of patients experienced 84 complications (25% local, 75% general).
- Reoperation was needed in 6.2% of cases, all after Roux-en-Y.
- Mortality rate was 2.5% (one after Roux-en-Y, one after Omega-Braun).
Conclusions:
- Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy was associated with a higher overall complication rate but fewer life-threatening events.
- Omega-Braun TG had fewer local complications but higher risks of hemodynamic instability and organ failure.
- Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy is considered the safer procedure, with manual anastomosis linked to increased mortality.

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
