Resection of the stomach with Roux anastomosis

Results of surgical treatment of patients with gastric ulcer and cancer of the stomach using resection of the stomach with Roux technique were analyzed. Acid-producing and evacuatory functions of the stomach were assessed in different periods after surgery. Dynamic scintigraphy provided evaluation of indices of duodenogastric reflux and state of gastric mucous barrier after various types of surgeries. Quality of life was studied late after surgery with original questionnaire. It is concluded that Roux resection of the stomach is not inferior to Bilrot-I resection by functional results, but it has advantages by quality life and rate of operated stomach diseases compared with Bilrot-I and Bilrot-II techniques.     

Prophylaxis and treatment of complications after resection of the stomach with Roux anastomosis

One hundred and seventy-eight subtotal distal resections of the stomach with creation of the valve in an outflowing part of the small intestine were analyzed. There was no postoperative lethality due to the method of surgery. One (0.6%) patient died on day 18 after surgery for acute cardiac insufficiency. General surgery complications were seen in 3 (1.7%) cases. In 2 (1.1%) patients Roux syndrome developed, it was treated conservatively on day 12 - 18. Repair of tonisity, peristalsis of the gastric stump and diverting intestinal loop was registered late after surgery. Mild forms of damping-syndrome were diagnosed in 2.8% cases, superficial gastritis of the gastric stump -- in 33.3%, atrophic gastritis -- in 11.1%. The intestinal valve provided physiological evacuation and impeded reflux into the gastric stump.     

Results of stomach resection with Roux gastrojejunostomy for gastroduodenal ulcers]

In a follow-up study operative risk, postoperative functional disorders and incidence of anastomotic (recurrent) ulcer after partial gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy for gastroduodenal ulcer were evaluated in 52 patients. Lethality for elective treatment was 0 and for emergency surgery (ulcer bleeding) 16.7%. 29.5% of the patients reported postoperative functional disorders. Because Roux-en-Y reconstruction prevented duodenogastric reflux, intragastric pH was low (median 2.2) and in the absence of ulcer protective, neutralizing reflux anastomotic ulcer occurred in 15.9% of the patients. With regard to the high rate of recurrent ulcer Roux-en-Y reconstruction after partial gastrectomy for primary ulcer surgery should be avoided and reconstruction procedures preferred, which guarantee duodenogastric reflux.     

Reconstruction of the digestive tract after total gastrectomy. A comparison of Roux anastomosis with Nakayama's beta-anastomosis]

Digestive tract reconstruction following total gastrectomy can be classified into two types according to whether the duodenal tract is excluded or preserved. Two groups of patients who underwent digestive tract reconstruction excluding the duodenal tract following total gastrectomy due to cancer were compared retrospectively: Nakayama's anastomosis was used in 20 patients (57%), and a Roux-en-Y anastomosis was performed in 15 (43%). The main technical difference between the two groups consists in the distance between esophagojejunostomy and jejunojejuno anastomosis: 20 cm in the case of Nakayama's technique and 50 cm in the case of the Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Results showed that 40% of patients with Roux-en-Y anastomoses were asymptomatic compared to 60% of patients with Nakayama's beta-anastomosis (chi-square test, p = 0.36). The most frequent symptom in patients with Roux-en-Y reconstructions was a feeling of postprandial fullness (33%), whereas pyrosis (25%) was the most common compliant in patients with Nakayama's reconstruction. Endoscopy revealed the presence of esophagitis in 35% of patients with Nakayam's beta-anastomosis compared to 6.5% in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis (chi-square test, p = 0.012). Results confirm that a minimum distance of at least 50 cm between the esophagojejunal and jejunojejunal anastomoses is decisive in reducing the frequency of reflux esophagitis after total gastrectomy.     

胆道空肠Roux-Y吻合在治疗胆管结石中的应用(附86例报告)

胆道结石取石术后胆道逆行感染,胆道狭窄及结石复发率均较高。不同的手术方式其发生率也不同,正确选择手术方式对降低术后并发症有很大关系。我院从1995年1月～2001年12月根据病情共对86例胆道结石病人在清除结石、解除狭窄后行胆道空肠Roux鄄Y吻合术,并对本组资料进行回顾性分析。临床资料一、一般资料本组共86例。其中男40例,女46例,男女比例1:1.15。年龄13岁～76岁,平均49岁。其中单纯胆总管结石21例;肝胆管结石12例;肝内外胆管结石52例;胆总管囊肿合并胆总管结石1例。其中有8例合并胆道蛔虫。64例行胆总管空肠侧侧吻合;19例行左右肝管…     

Functional condition of gallbladder after stomach resection by Roux

This study examined the results of surgical treatment of 90 patients with ulcerative stenosing disease of the stomach and duodenal ulcer between 1984 and 1995. 30 patients (study group) underwent stomach Roux resection. Truncal vagotomy with stomach Bilroth-I resection (control group) was made in 20 patients, 20 patients had a truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty according to Heineke-Mikulicz (control group), and 20 patients had a selective proximal vagotomy with gastroduodenostomy by Joboulay (control group). Motor and evacuation functions of gallbladder were assessed by dynamic US and radioisotope scintigraphy. After a Roux stomach resection and a stomach Bilroth-I resection, respectively, hypokinetic and hyperkinetic types of the gallbladder's dyskinesia was established. After a selective proximal vagotomy with gastroduodenostomy by Joboulay and truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty according to Heineke-Mikulicz essential change of the gallbladder refractive function wasn't observed.     

Systematic aspects of the loop syndrome following stomach resection with reference to the Roux modification

The contradictions implied in any effort to differentiate from each other postoperative loop syndromes following partial gastrectomy were found to call for systematisation. Reference is made in this paper to syndromes of afferent and efferent loops. The authors present their own modification developed to prevent the Roux-Y syndrome.     

Y Roux anastomosis of small intestine in gastrectomy and esophagectomy

A clutch-like method of esophagojejunal anastomosis on the excluded by the Roux method loop of the small intestine was worked out in experiments on 80 corpses of humans. It was found that the anastomosis should be made at a distance of 3.2 +/- 0.48 cm (two diameters of the patient's esophagus) from the tightly sutured part of the small intestine. In the clinic there were no cases of incompetence of the anastomosis sutures in 86 gastric cancer patients aged from 31 to 71 years (81 gastrectomies and 5 extirpations of the gastric stump). Two patients died (2.3%). The follow-up of the patients during 1-10 years after operation has found that mild reflux-esophagitis developed in 6.1% of the patients, average degree--in 2.04%. No cicatricial strictures of the anastomosis were revealed. The method was used in 6 patients in gastroplasty after Kupriyanov-Zakharov. The dumping syndrome of mild degree developed in 23.6%, average--in 2.7% of the patients. The anastomosis can be used in gastrectomy as a method of choice in extirpation of the gastric stump.     

Functional condition of pancreas after stomach resection according to Roux

Available are the results of surgical treatment of 90 patients with stenotic gastroduodenal ulcer in Burdenko Surgical Faculty Hospital of Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy between 1984 and 1985. 30 patients (study group) underwent stomach Roux-type resection. Truncal vagotomy with a stomach Bilroth-I resection was made in 20 control patients, after 20 control patients had a truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty according to Heineke-Mikulicz, and 20 patients had selective proximal vagotomy with gastroduodenostomy by Joboulay (the third control group). Exocrine function of the pancreas was assessed by serum concentration of immunoreactive trypsin, endocrine function by fasting blood sugar, oral glucose tolerance and serum concentration of immunoreactive insulin. The authors came to the conclusion that exocrine function of the pancreas was equally damaged in patients with a Roux stomach resection, stem vagotomy with a stomach Bilroth-I resection and a stem vagotomy with pyloroplasty Heineke-Mikulicz. After selective proximal vagotomy a level of immunoreactive trypsin was normal. After a Roux stomach resection relative incompetence of basophil cells of the pancreas and long increase of insulin in the blood were observed but without influence on the glucose curve. The changes of glucose curve and level of immunoreactive insulin were similar in the control groups.
