[Immediate prognosis factors in total gastrectomy in cancer].
We present a series of 76 patients operated over a period of nine years, diagnosed as gastric cancer (CG), in whom radical oncologic total gastrectomy (GT) with esophago-jejunal anastomosis (EY) on a Roux-en-Y loop (Y-R) was performed. The tumor was located in the cardias in 27 patients, body in 37, fornix in 3, gastric stump in 7 and over plastic linitis in 2. We performed total gastrectomy enlarged to the spleen in 63 patients, to the pancreas in 28, to the colon in 5 and to the liver in 4. We describe the most salient technical details of the surgical intervention. Twenty-six percent of the patients presented postoperative complications, which we divided into two groups: anastomosis failures, among which are emphasized 4 severe esophagojejunal fistulas, a fistula of the duodenal stump (MD) and respiratory complications. The mortality was 7.8%, corresponding to 4 esophago-jejunal fistulas, 1 fistula of the duodenal stump and 1 bilateral bronchopneumonia. We analyzed various parameters that we consider important prognostic indicators of postoperative morbi-mortality. Applying the Fischer test, we attempted to assign statistical significance to these parameters. Age over 60 years increased postoperative mortality. Super-radical surgery did not increase mortality. On the other hand, patients in stages IIIb and IV have a worse prognosis, with a mortality in the first 30 days of 28.5%. Esophago-jejunal anastomosis on a Roux-en-Y loop is the procedure of choice used by our center after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, yielding the most acceptable morbi-mortality figures.
