Abstract:
Objective:To explore the perioperative safety and postoperative efficacy of prophylactic jejunal nutrition tube placement during early gastric body cancer pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG).Methods:The clinical data of 29 gastric cancer patients treated by Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 males (58.6%) and 12 females (41.4%), aged from 43 to 74 years, with an average age of (58.9 ± 8.3) years, and an average body mass index (BMI) of (24.3 ± 3.0) kg/m 2. According to the type of catheterization, all cases were divided into jejunal nutrition tube group ( n=12) and gastric tube group( n=17). The main outcome was the incidence of delayed gastric emptying within one month after surgery in both groups. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS26.0 software. Results:Patients in the jejunal feeding tube group resumed oral liquid intake, soft diet and regular diet significantly earlier postoperatively compared to those in the gastric tube group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conversely, the time to removal of the tube was significantly earlier in the gastric tube group than in the jejunal feeding tube group ( P<0.05). However, the proportion of patients requiring reinsertion of a gastric or jejunal feeding tube postoperatively was significantly higher in the gastric tube group (7 cases) compared to the jejunal feeding tube group (0 case) ( P<0.05). In the jejunal feeding tube group, there were 4 cases occurred DGE, in the gastric tube group, there were 8 cases occurred DGE. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in either the overall incidence of DGE or the distribution of DGE severity grades. On postoperative 7th day , the Gastric Outlet Obstruction Scoring System (GOOSS) grade was significantly better in the jejunal feeding tube group than in the gastric tube group ( P<0.05), and all patients in the jejunal feeding tube group had resumed liquid intake, compared to only 58.8% in the gastric tube group. Conclusions:Compared with gastric tube placement, intraoperative prophylactic jejunal feeding tube placement for PPG has significant advantages in perioperative safety and postoperative recovery, but large-sample prospective studies are still needed for further verification.
