ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains relatively common and represents a major cause of postoperative morbidity after radical gastrectomy (RG) for gastric cancer (GC). AL is associated with high mortality.
Research motivation
Prophylactic drainage of the abdominal cavity is widely performed. The optimal creation of drainage in AL patients after RG remains controversial.
Research objectives
The novel abdominal negative pressure lavage-drainage system (ANPLDS) is a feasible management for AL. Therefore, we present our utilization of and experiences with ANPLDS for AL after RG for GC.
Research methods
In January 2014, a novel ANPLDS was routinely used for patients with AL at our institution. AL rates and postoperative outcome were compared before and after the ANPLDS therapy.
Research results
The novel ANPLDS can effectively reduce the failure-to-rescue and abdominal bleeding rates after AL.
Research conclusions
Our experience demonstrates that the novel ANPLDS is a feasible management for AL after RG for GC.
Research perspectives
The successful implementation of the novel ANPLDS at our institution may serve as a model for treating AL after RG for GC at other centers.
