A retrospeclive study was performed in 455 (282 males and 173 females) cases of gastric cancer presenting between 1990 and 1999. The average age of the patient was 52.17; a range of 16 to 80 years. 143 of these patients underwent subtotal gastrectomy. The postoperative morbidity and mortality common rates were 25/455 (5.4%) and 4/455 (0.8%). The morbidity and mortality rates were 11/143 (7.69%) and 1/143 (0.69%) for total gastrectomy cases. The morbidity and mortality rates were 14/312 (4.48%) and 3/312 (0.96%) for subtotal gastrectomy cases. The rate of anastigmatic leakage, stump of duodenum leakage, pancreatitis acute was 5/455 (1.09%), 2/455 (0.43%) and 2/455 (0.43%). They are main mortality causes.
