Brief summary

To provide preventive and therapeutic strategies for participants with gallstones after gastric cancer by comparing the risk of postoperative gallbladder stone formation with two different resection ranges using the Roux-en-Y reconstruction modality in radical gastric cancer surgery.

Detailed description

A large number of clinical studies have found that the incidence of gallstones in patients after radical gastric cancer surgery is higher than that in the normal population. However, the pathogenesis has not been clarified, and the prophylactic removal of the gallbladder in patients with gastric cancer remains controversial. A previous study found a statistically significant incidence of gallbladder stones after Billroth I versus Roux-en-Y in distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Therefore, the investigators plan to conduct a retrospected cohort study to collect further participants with gastric cancer who underwent total gastrectomy to answer whether different surgical resection ranges during surgery increase the incidence of gallstones this question.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of gallstone patients5yearsTwo groups of patients with gastric cancer had a follow-up for more than one year and the number of patients with gallbladder stones on B-ultrasound or Computed Tomography (CT)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of patients with postoperative complications5yearsThe number of patients with postoperative complications such as abdominal haemorrhage, fistula, nausea, vomiting, abdominal infection and incision infection in 2 groups of gastric cancer patients
Number of patients with bile duct stones5yearsTwo groups of patients with gastric cancer had a follow-up for more than one year. Clinical signs such as Charcot's triad and ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) show the number of patients with bile duct stones
