Abstract
BACKGROUND: There have been no comparative studies of open gastrojejunostomy (OGJ) and laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy (LGJ) in gastric cancer (GC) patients with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) to explore both short- and long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare the safety and feasibility of short-term oral intake as well as the long-term oncological outcome of OGJ and LGJ. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of 53 consecutive unresectable GC patients who underwent GJ for GOO in our institute. OGJ (n = 23) was performed between 2010 and 2012 and LGJ (n = 30) was performed between 2013 and 2015. RESULTS: We found a higher rate of postoperative delayed gastric emptying in the OGJ group than in the LGJ group (26.1 vs 0%; P = 0.004). OGJ had more unfavorable results regarding the median time to resumption of oral feeding (4 vs 2 days; P < 0.001). Palliative LGJ did not offer survival benefit over OGJ in patients with unresectable GC with GOO. CONCLUSION: LGJ is a useful and feasible alternative to OGJ regarding short-term outcomes.
