Anti-Reflux Alimentary Reconstruction, Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy, Siewert Type II/III Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction
Conditions
Brief summary
The efficacy of three different alimentary reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy will be investigated in this study in a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
Detailed description
In the trial, 180 patients with early upper-third early gastric cancer and Siewert type II/III esophagogastric junction cancer will be enrolled and then randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group A (single-tract jejunal interposition n = 60), Group B (double-tract reconstruction, n = 60), or Group C (tube-like stomach reconstruction, n = 60). The primary co-end points were the incidence of reflux esophagitis at 2 years postoperatively. The secondary end points included the incidence of anastomotic leakage and anastomotic stenosis, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, quality of life, overall survival, and disease-free survival. Quality of life outcomes were assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) 30-item core questionnaire (C30) and the EORTC QLQ stomach cancer-specific questionnaire at 3 months, 12 months, and 24 months.
Interventions
laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with single-tract jejunal interposition (LPG-STJI) versus double-tract reconstruction (LPG-DTR) versus tube-like stomach reconstruction (LPG-TLR).
