Objective:To evaluate the effect andindications of radical gastrectomy combined with peritoneal lavage with thermal double distilled water(DDW)or DDW plus chlorthexidine acetate.Methods:On the bases of the study on the killing effect of 43℃ DDW on human gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 and its inhibiting effect on ascitic tumor of SY86B morse,500 cases of gastric cancer who underwent radical gastectomy from January 1986 to December 1995 were divided into three groups:group A(n=198) subject to radical gastrectomy and peritoneal lavage for 10min with 4000ml DDW at 43℃ ;group B(n=89)subject to radical gastrectomy and peritoneal lavage for 4min with 4000ml DDW plus 0.6g chlorthexidine acetate,and grup C(n=213) subject to radical gastrectomy and peritoneal lavage for 4 min with 4000ml normal saline at room temperature as control.Results Human gastric cancer cells MGC-803 could be completely killed by treatment of either 43℃ DDW for 10min or DDW plus 0.015ml/L chlorhexidine acetate for 4 min.Clinical trials proved group A and group B(called lavage group as a whole)had almost the same curative effects.The 1-year survival rate and 3-year survival rate were similar in different stages among the groups.The 5-year survival rate was 63.8% in the lavage group and 51.2% in the control group respectively.Most of the cases with good effect were at the mid-stage (Ⅱand Ⅲ stage).Conclusion Radical gastrectom combined with peritoneal peritoneal lavage before closing the abdomen has satisfying effect on patients with gastric cancer at stage Ⅱ and stage ⅢA.
