Objective To explore the type of the rational digestive reconstruction after total gastrectomy for gastric malignancy.Metlhods Three types of digestive reconstruction were performed after total gastrectomy in 121 cases with gastric carcinoma.The operating time,morbidity and mortality,digestive tract symptoms,nutritional status in 1 year after operation were compared.Results There were no signifioant differences among the three procedures in operative morbidity and mortality,postoperative food intake,nutritional status,incidences of diarrhea and dumping syndrome.Roux-en-Y esophajejunostomy and P-type esophajejunostomy had an advantage d anti-esophageal reflux,and are obviously superior to Lahey + Braun anastomosis.Roux-en-Y esophajejunostomy was simpler with shorter operating time and less complication.Condusion Roux-en-Y esophajejunostomy and P-type esophajejunostomy could be recommended as suitable methods for digestive reconstruction after total gastrectomy.
