Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy in elderly gastric cancer patients aged over 70 years.Methods Clinical data of 222 elderly gastric cancer patients aged over 70 years receiving surgery from January 2010 to January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into the laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy group (LAG group,n=106) and the conventional open gastrectomy group (OG group,n=116),depending on the surgery type.General information,surgical parameters,intra-operative blood pressure fluctuations & blood gas analysis,postoperative recovery and complication rates were compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in gender,age,preoperative coexisting diseases,tumor size and location,TNM staging or extent of resection (all P＞0.05).Compared with the OG group,blood loss (86.9±38.9) ml vs.(168.8±49.1) ml,t=10.923,P＜0.01),operative incision length [(9.20±1.55) cm vs.(16.50± 2.12) cm,t=8.788,P＜0.01],time to bowel function recovery [(3.20±1.09) d vs.(5.50±1.16) d,t=4.590,P＜0.01],hospital stay [(11.82±3.92) d vs.(16.14±4.69) d,t=2.234,P＜0.05] and postoperative complications (12.3％ vs.26.4％,x2 =5.186,P＜0.05) were reduced in the LAG group.The LAG group had higher levels of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) and lower levels of base excess than the OG group [(48.10±5.53) mmHg vs.(40.25± 4.66) mmHg,(-7.45±3.72) mmol/L vs.(-3.35±1.98) mmol/L,t=6.908 and 3.619,P＜ 0.01 and 0.05].However,there were no significant differences between the two groups in partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) or hydrogen ion concentration (all P＞ 0.05).No significant differences in operation time or number of retrieved lymph nodes were found between the two groups [(196.1 ± 23.4) min vs.(184.2 ± 26.9) min,(28.7 ± 6.5) vs.(27.3 ± 5.6),t=1.174 and 0.515,both P＞0.05].Conclusions Laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy is safe and practical in elderly patients aged over 70 years with gastric cancer and can achieve comparable effects of open radical gastrectomy with less invasiveness and faster recovery.

Objective To study the outcome of surgical therapy of perforation of gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 37 cases with perforation of gastric carcinoma which underwent different surgical procedures were analyzed retrospectively. Among them,24 cases underwent partial gastrectomy,8 cases underwent radical mastectomy,4 cases had repair of perforation. 1 case received non-operative therapy. Results The preoperative diagnotic rate was 24.3%,and misdiagonsis rate was 75.7%. The perioperative mortality rate was 5.4%,including 1 case that underwent repair of perforation. The post-operative complication rate of patients undergoing palliative gastrectomy,radical gastric cancer operation and repair of perforation was 41.7%,25.0% and 75.0%,respectively,and the mean survival time was 25 months,29 months and 3.0 months,respectively.The partial gastrectomy and radical mastectomy patients had significantly better outcomes than those who underwent repair of perforation or received non-operative therapy.Conclusions For patients with perforation of gastric cancer with resectable lesions and who are in good general coaditon,a one-stage radical gastric resection or palliative subtotal gastrectomy can be performed.
