| Core Tip |
The influence of postgastrectomy syndrome after total gastrectomy (TG) is believed to be more intense than that after distal gastrectomy (DG). However, the precise features and the degree of inter-ference with quality of life after TG against DG have not been clarified. Then, we weighed DG against TG to determine pure influence of whether presence or absence of remaining stomach (as the reservoir capacity) by employing the same reconstruction route. Moreover, we reinforced the findings by multivariable analysis including other clinical factors, and defined the effect sizes of each variable in the unprecedented examination with large number cases using newly developed Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale-45. |
