ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Valvuloplastic esophagogastrostomy (VEG) using the double flap technique (DFT) after proximal gastrectomy (PG) represents a promising procedure for the prevention of reflux oesophagitis. We aimed to retrospectively investigate the efficacy of minimally invasive PG followed by VEG-DFT in preventing reflux oesophagitis among patients who require intra-mediastinal anastomosis.METHODS:
A total of 80 patients who underwent reconstruction with DFT after LPG from November 2013 to January 2021 were enrolled in the present study. Data were obtained through a review of our prospectively maintained database. At 1 year after surgery, multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors for gastroesophageal reflux disease of Los Angeles (LA) classification grade B or higher.RESULTS:
The incidence of LA grade B or higher reflux oesophagitis 1 year after surgery was 10%. Multivariate analyses revealed that the longitudinal length of the resected oesophagus of > 20 mm was the only significant risk factor for reflux oesophagitis. Patients with a longitudinal length of the resected oesophagus > 20 mm (group-L, n = 35) had a significantly longer total operative time and a higher rate of complications within 30 days of surgery than those with a length of ≤ 20 mm (group-S, n = 45). LA grade B or higher reflux oesophagitis was significantly higher in group-L than in group-S (20% vs. 2.2%; P = 0.011).CONCLUSIONS:
There is a need for surgical procedures with improved efficacy for the prevention of reflux oesophagitis in patients requiring oesophageal resection of > 20-mm.Palavras-chave
