Evaluation of jejunal interposition reconstruction P and SS type after total gastrectomy in patients with gastric carcinoma : reports of 31 cases

Purpose: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of the jejunal interposition reconstruction SS and P type after total gastrectomy in patients with gastric carcinoma. Methods: 31 cases with gastric carcinoma operated on from June, 1990 - Octuber, 2000 were retrospectively analyzed. After total gastrectomy 16 patients were operated by jejunal interposition reconstruction SS type and 15 a jejunal interposition reconstruction P type. The clinic materials of the two types of jejunal interposition reconstruction were assessed by 6 months -5 years follow-up. Results: 30 -60 minutes and 80 - 120 minutes Ba emptying time of SS and P type were 62. 5%, 66. 7% and 37. 5%, 33. 3% respectively ; BLA were 73. 6 + 1. 1% and 74. 4 + 1. 3% , respectively; HB were 15 +1.3 and 15 +1.5; The Visick scoring of the 87. 7% patients with S type and the 86. 7% patients with P type was Ⅰ - Ⅱ grades. Reflux oesophagitis of the patients with S type was 12. 5%. Conclusions: The jejunal interposition reconstruction SS and P type after total gastrectomy are effective means to improve quality of life and to reduce complications after gastrectomy and to maintain the canal of the chyme through the duodenal tract.
