Short-term outcomes of laparoscopic versus open proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction for Siewert type II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction: a retrospective observational study of consecutive patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the safety and merits of laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (LPG-DT) for Siewert type II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG).

Methods

Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 100 consecutive patients with Siewert II and III AEG treated at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2010 to October 2019 was performed. Out of these patients, 69 underwent open proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (OPG-DT), while 31 underwent LPG-DT. The clinicopathological characteristics, perioperative data, and short-term outcomes of the two groups were compared. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

Males accounted for 87% of all
