METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 217 random patients with car- cinoma of the gastric cardia who underwent a gastric cardiac resection.The patients had been treated as fol ows:186 with partial gastrectomy,31 with total gastrectomy,97 with a combined-visceral resection,of which 82 under- went a splenectomy plus partial pancreatectomy,10 with splenectomy alone and 5 with partial hepatectomy and diaphragmatectomy. RESULTS:The total patients were divided into 3 groups:128 with a gas- trectomy alone,10 with gastrectomy and splenectomy,and 82 with gastrec- tomy and splenectomy plus pancreatectomy.The operating times for these 3 groups were respectively 3.0 h,3.1 h and 3.8 h.The hospitalization times were respectively 23.8 d,31.2 d and 25.9 d.No differences in post-operative complications were found between these 3 groups.There were 92 patients who underwent a gastrectomy combined with a splenectomy and(or)the pancreatectomy,in which 92 No.10 lymph nodes were eliminated,with an average of one in each patient.Among the 125 patients not receiving a sple- nectomy but with elimination of lymph nodes,82 underwent a gastrectomy combined with partial pancreatectomy,of which 107 lymph nodes were elimi- nated for the No.11 group,with an average of 1.3 in each patient.There was a statisticaly significant difference between the 2 groups.The overal survival rates were similar in the 3 groups showing no statistical differences, but was higher in the Stage III patients with a combined resection of multi- organs.For patients in the Stage IV without resection of multi-organs,the survival rate was higher,but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION:It is difficult to determine precisely the involvement of para-tumorous organs with the eye during an operation.Combining a sple- nectomy with a pancreatectomy does not increase the post-operative compli- cations following surgical treatment for carcinoma of the gastric cardia.The combination of a splenectomy and partial pancreatectomy results in a higher survival rate and has an important significance for eliminating the lymph nodes of group 10 and 11,especially for patients in Stage III.In the applica- tion of a resection combining multi-organs,the doctor should make every effort to decrease the trauma and the complications based on the condition that the cancerous tissue is totally resected.展开更多
