Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of nasojejunal tube placement after laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Subject and method: The retrospective descriptive study of 126 patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy between January 2014 to May 2021 at Nghe An Friendship General Hospital. Result: In this study there were 126 patients with mean age of 60.6 ± 11.1 years. Male to female ratio was 2.8:1. 70.6% adenocarcinoma, 24.6% signet-ring cell carcinoma. The ratio of gastric cancer at stage I, II, III were 19.0%, 49.2%, 31.7% respectively. 73.0% of patients were underwent totally laparoscopic. There was no anastomosis postoperative complications. The average time of placing nasojejunal was 2.1 ± 2.2 days. Time of nasojejunal tube placement was related to pain severity, postoperative complications, time to passage of flatus, recovery movement and length of hospital stay (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nasojejunostomy after laparoscopic total gastrectomy increased pain severity, postoperative complication rates, time of bowel motility recovery and length of hospital stay.
