Short-Term Surgical Outcomes of Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy With Double-Tract Reconstruction Versus Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Adenocarcinoma of Esophagogastric Junction: A Matched-Cohort Study
Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) with double-tract reconstruction (DTR) is performed as a function-preserving surgery for patients with adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction. However, whether LPG with DTR has postoperative advantages over laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is debatable. To evaluate benefits of LPG with DTR, we compared short-term surgical outcomes between LPG with DTR and LTG for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).
