Abstract
In selected adenocarcinomas of the oesophagogastric junction with AEG types II and III and of T-category 1 and 2, proximal gastric resection with preservation of the distal stomach can be performed without impairment of radicality or prognosis. Double tract reconstruction with side to side anastomosis of the distal stomach to the Roux-en-Y jejunal loop after oesophagojejunostomy is presented. According to the literature, this procedure has a low rate of postoperative reflux oesophagitis and long term effects include significantly lower dosage of vitamin B12 substitution and significantly higher haemoglobin levels than after total gastrectomy.
