ObjectiveTo prospectively study the effect of preventing postoperative reflux esophagitis with esophagogastrostomy and RouxenY gastrojejunostomy after proximal subtotal gastrectomy.MethodsTwentysix cases of carcinoma of the gastric fundus and cardia were allocated randomly to 2 groups (the control group with 12 cases and the experimental group with 14 cases) according to odd or even number of the admission number.After proximal subtotal gastrectomy and esophagogastrostomy, the control group underwent pyloroplasty while the experimental group with pyloruspreserving RouxenY gastrojejunostomy.The inflammatory reaction of the tissue obtained at the esophagogastric junction using a fiber gastroscope was observed after half year of postoperative followup in the two groups.An examination of gastric emptying of a radionuclidelabeled test meal were performed.According to the Visick score of followup data,the effects of operation were evaluated.The 5year survival rate was also evaluated.ResultsThe postoperative gastrointestinal symptoms in the experimental group were slighter than those in the control group.The examination of gastric emptying of a radionuclidelabeled test meal showed that the gastric emptying time of a half dose,gastric remains rates of radionuclide after 10 min and 60 min in the experimental group were similar to those in the control healthy people group.But in the control group,the gastric emptying time of a half dose delayed,and the gastric remains rate of radionuclide after 10 min and 60 min were higher than the other groups.The biopsy study of the esophagogastric junction showed that the inflammatory reaction in the experimental group was slighter than that in the control group.There was no significant difference between the two groups in the survival rate.ConclusionFor patients with carcinoma of the gastric fundus and cardia, after proximal subtotal gastrectomy and esophagogastrostomy,compared with pyloroplasty,pyloruspreserving RouxenY gastrojejunostomy can decrease the reflux esophagitis,and relieve the postoperative gastrointestinal symptoms.
