Core Tip	We reviewed the current status of two function-preserving surgeries for gastric cancer (GC), pylorus-preserving surgery and proximal gastrectomy (PG). Although both procedures appear to be oncologically safe for early GC, issues regarding postoperative quality of life remain, especially with PG. The effect of the reconstruction method after PG on postoperative quality of life was analyzed, including the novel double tract reconstruction method, which is expected to overcome disadvantages associated with esophagogastrostomy and jejunal interposition reconstruction. Although some reports showed a benefit with function-preserving surgery, further randomized trials are needed.
