Application value of continuous seromuscular layer sutures in the reinforcement of esophagojejunostomy in total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a retrospective comparative cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The development process of gastrointestinal anastomosis is from complex to simple, from two layers to one layer, from extramucosal anastomosis to seromuscular anastomosis. With the rapid development of anastomosis instruments, the anastomosis process becomes more and more convenient. However, relevant studies have shown that related complications such as anastomotic leakage still occur. This study sought to investigate the feasibility and safety of seromuscular layer sutures in the reinforcement of esophagojejunostomy after open radical total gastrectomy.

Methods

This study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy after open radical total gastrectomy at The Third Department of Surgery, The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical Unive
