About
Case series of a retrospective study of patients operated for distal adenocarcinoma of the stomach, either by total gastrectomy or distal gastrectomy at Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca, with the analysis of outcome of patients on a follow up periode of three years and eight months.
Full description
Thirty (30) patients were treated for gastric cancer and were included in this study. The average age was 64 years, the sex ratio 1.5. Twenty eight patients underwent a distal gastrectomy and 2 patients underwent total gastrectomy. The median number of lymph nodes resected was 6 following distal gastrectomy versus 26 after total gastrectomy. Resection margins were clean except for three patients who underwent a distal gastrectomy. Postoperative complicationsoccured in 05 patients. They were mainly infectious, anastomotic leakage. Two 2 cases of postoperative mortality (<30 days) among patients with distal gastrectomy was noted. A progression to metastasis was found in 3 patients with subtotal gastrectomy, two of whom had insufficient lymph node clearance, compared to no cases of metastasis in patients with total gastrectomy.
