  • Title: [Gastric resection and subtotal gastrectomy. Principles and updated surgical technique].

    Abstract:
    The Authors describe their last 10 years experience in gastric surgery. They report the results obtained in 12 gastric resections performed for complications following gastric and/or duodenal peptic ulcers, in 33 cases of total gastrectomies (34%), and 48 cases of subtotal gastrectomies (49%) for early and advanced cancer. The results lead to interesting conclusions: first of all achieving a wide jejunojejunostomy between the afferent and the efferent loop the problems related to gastric resection (as postoperative sequelae, dumping syndrome, reflux esophagitis, alkaline gastritis, etc.) are avoided. Problems regarding lymphadenectomy in patients submitted to subtotal gastrectomy (D2-D3) are then reported. After a brief history of gastric reconstruction following gastric resection the evolution in surgical techniques and the results obtained during the last 10 years are described. The good long term results allow to conclude that our strategy in gastric surgery ensures a good quality of life of the patients as well as a radical operation in case of gastric cancer.
