Core Tip

Core Tip: This study evaluated the effectiveness of esophagogastric anastomosis using muscle flap reconstruction technology in total abdominal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The study found that this technique had positive effects on patient outcomes, and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy were important factors affecting prognosis. Univariate analysis revealed that histological types, tumor size, tumor-node-metastasis staging, vascular invasion, and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy were major factors affecting the prognosis of surviving patients. Cox regression analysis showed that postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy were the main factors affecting overall patient prognosis. The findings of this study may contribute to improving treatment options and decision-making for patients with gastric cancer undergoing total abdominal gastrectomy, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
