  • Title: Total gastrectomy.
    Author: Schrock TR, Way LW.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1978 Mar; 135(3):348-55. PubMed ID: 626316.
    Abstract:
    Total gastrectomy is indicated principally for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and for potentially curable gastric cancer. The diagnosis of cancer should be verified by biopsy before the resection is performed, and the margins of resection should usually be examined by frozen section. Of the various reconstructions, Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy gave the best long-term results.
