ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study depicts a novel reconstruction method of self-pulling and latter transection (SPLT) in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) and evaluates its feasibility and short-term safety by comparing its surgical and postoperative outcomes with the conventional TLTG. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Forty patients with gastric cancer from June 2014 to December 2015 received SPLT-TLTG. Data of clinicopathologic characteristics, surgical and postoperative outcomes, and follow-up findings in SPLT cases were collected and retrospectively compared with those of conventional TLTG to clarify the clinical benefits.RESULTS:
The mean duration of the operation was 179.5 ± 37.7 min in SPLT-TLTG, including 23.2 ± 8.8 min of reconstruction; both were significantly shorter than the conventional TLTG (P = 0.030; P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in blood loss, time of the first flatus and postoperative hospital stays between two groups. SPLT-TLTG developed no complication beyond the conventional TLTG.CONCLUSION:
SPLT-TLTG is safe, feasible and minimally invasive. It may serve as a promising procedure for gastric cancer that helps to expand the indication of TLTG to cases with even high level of tumor invasion and requires less in both surgical skills and clinical costs.Palabras clave
