[Restoration of digestive passage after total gastrectomy]

In a group of 20 patients the authors evaluate possibilities of reconstruction of the digestive tract after TGE from the aspect of quality of life. The evaluating criterion are subjective complaints, the necessity to restrict the volume of meals and evaluation of the gastric substitution. The authors did not find a significant difference between reconstructions using a Roux loop and bilateral interposition of a jejunal loop between the oesophagus and duodenum, while the consider the creation of a reservoir very beneficial for the patient.
