Abstract:
Objective To analyze the risk factors for anastomotic leak after total gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients and its impact on patients survival.Methods A total of 1 547 gastric cancer patients who underwent curative resection between 1999 to 2016 were enrolled.Results The anastomotic leak occurred in 106 of 1 547 patients;and it was happened at a median of (6.0 ± 2.1) day after surgery.The median postoperative hospital stay was (9 ± 3) days for non-anastomotic leak,lower than patients for anastomotic leak with (15 ± 5) days.The anastomotic leak was significantly correlated with age,lung function,BMI,serum albumin,intraoperative blood loss,operative time,smoking and diabetes (P <0.05).Multivariable analysis showed that the anastomotic leak was significantly correlated with diabetes,lung function,smoking (P < 0.05).The 30-day mortality with anastomotic leak was lower than patients without leak.The 3'-and 5-year survival rate of patients with anastomotic leak were 53.9% and 47.7%,significantly lower than those of 69.4% and 58.5% without anastomotic leak (P < 0.05).By univariate analysis that BMI,pathological stage,tumor size,serum albumin,anastomotic leak were factors affecting prognosis (P < 0.05).While multivariate analysis showed that anastomotic leakage was independently associated with worse overall survival.Conclusion Anastomotic leakage in patients who underwent total gastrectomy increases the 30-day mortality and associated with poorer 5-year survival.
