title: [Combined gastrectomy with extensive lymph node excision in the surgical treatment of cancer of the stomach].
abstract: The authors discuss experience in combined gastrectomy in 206 patients with gastric carcinoma. They encountered 72 various postoperative complications which were not fatal. Fourteen patients died, which made up a total postoperative mortality of 6.8%. The most frequent and threatening complication was incompetence of the esophago-intestinal++ anastomosis, which occurred in 17 cases (8.3%) and was the cause of death of 6 patients (42.9%). The incidence of purulent and pleuropulmonary complications was 19.9 and 3.4%, respectively. Extensive lymphadenectomy was performed in combined gastrectomy in 40 cases, which accounted for 42.6% of all combined interventions. The incidence of complication was lowest in this group of patients (15%), and there were only 2 fatal outcomes (5%). The authors believe that total gastrectomy with omentectomy, splenectomy, resection of the lower esophagus, and extensive lymphadenectomy is the method of choice in surgical treatment of gastric carcinoma.
