Comparison Between Double Tract Anastomosis and Esophagogastrostomy After Radical Proximal Gastrectomy

November 7, 2018 updated by: Biao Fan, MD, Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute

Comparison Between Double Tract Anastomosis and Esophagogastrostomy After Radical Proximal Gastrectomy: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study

The patients with upper gastric cancer (cT1N0M0) or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (diameter less than 4 cm) will be enrolled into this study. Each of these patients will undergo radical proximal gastrectomy and be randomly allocated into one of the two groups, double tract anastomosis group or esophagogastrostomy group. The following data will be collected to compare the difference between the two reconstruction methods: the rate of reflux esophagitis, postoperative quality of life, economic expenditure, the safety of operation, postoperative recovery, postoperative nutrition status and oncological effect. Through the comprehensive analysis, the result of this study will elucidate the best of the reconstruction method after proximal gastrectomy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Double tract anatomosis
After the proximal gastrectomy, the purse-string suture is tied at the esophagus stump, and the anvil head is inserted into the esophagus stump using an anvil clamp. A Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy (E-stomy) is performed by intracorporeal anastomosis with a circular stapler, and the jejunal stump is closed with a linear stapler. Next, side-to-side gastrojejunostomy (G-stomy), 15 cm below the E-stomy, is performed using 2 linear staplers. Finally, end-to-side jejunojejunostomy (J-stomy), 20 cm below the G-stomy, is performed by 2 linear staplers.

ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Esophagogastrostomy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of reflux esophagitis after operation
Time Frame: 12 months
The rate of reflux esophagitis after operation will be assessed by gastrointestinal endoscopy with Los Angeles (LA) classification. the degree of reflux esophagitis will be classified as N, A, B, C or D level, and latter levels represent a more severe reflux esophagitis.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
postoperative quality of life
Time Frame: 12months
Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) - C30 questionnaire, the total score ranges from 30 to 126, and higher values represent a worse outcome.
12months
postoperative quality of life
Time Frame: 12months
Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) - STO22 questionnaire, the total score ranges from 22 to 88, and higher values represent a worse outcome.
