Comparison between laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for overweight patients with early gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (LPPG) has a nutritional advantage over laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG), however, may be less beneficial in overweight patients in terms of weight loss. The purpose of this study was to compare LPPG and LDG in overweight patients with early gastric cancer.

Methods

Clinicopathologic data of overweight patients (body mass index [BMI], ≥25 kg/m²) who underwent LPPG (n = 63) or LDG (n = 183) in 2016-2018 were retrospectively reviewed. In the LDG group, patients with Billroth-II anastomosis were separately grouped (LDG B-II, n = 66). Changes in BMI, hemoglobin, albumin, and total protein were compared among groups.

Results

Changes in BMI were not significant different among groups. The LPPG group had sign
