    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Digestive System Surgery

    Background:

    • Reconstructive gastric surgery is performed for various conditions, including peptic ulcers and gastric cancer.
    • Different surgical techniques exist, each with potential benefits and risks.
    • Assessing the safety and long-term outcomes of these diverse procedures is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of various reconstructive gastric operations.
    • To analyze the outcomes of specific procedures like Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy and jejunal interpositions.
    • To determine the overall success rate and patient improvement following these surgeries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 173 patients who underwent reconstructive gastric operations.

  • Categorization of procedures including Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy, jejunal interpositions, and others.
  • Assessment of immediate postoperative mortality and long-term functional outcomes (perfect, good, fair, poor).

    • Main Results:

    • A low immediate postoperative mortality rate of only 2 out of 173 patients.
    • Excellent or good long-term outcomes achieved in 69% (108/156) of patients.
    • Fair results in 22% and poor results in 9% of patients at long-term follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Reconstructive gastric operations are generally safe procedures with low mortality.
    • A significant majority of patients (70%) experience clear long-term improvement after these surgeries.
    • These operations effectively enhance patient quality of life and digestive function.
