Core Tip

Core Tip: Total gastrectomy combined with radical resection of gastric cancer lesions and sentinel lymph nodes can significantly prolong the survival of patients. Postoperative digestive tract reconstruction is crucial to maintain gastrointestinal function and optimize postoperative recovery. This study found that the application of modified Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy in total gastrectomy shortened the gastrointestinal anastomosis time, reduced the gastrointestinal mucosal injury caused by the operation, and alleviated the decline in postoperative nutritional status. This approach also reduces the overall incidence of surgical complications.
