THE PATHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND EARLY SURGICAL RESULTS OF GASTRIC CARCINOMA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the pathological characteristics and early results of gastric carcinoma surgery. Subjects and methods: The study describes 68 patients with gastric carcinoma, undergoing gastrectomy and lymph node dissection, at the Department of Digestive Surgery, Military Hospital 103 from July 2021 to December 2023. Results: Mean age: 63. Male/female: 2.77/1. Tumors in the distal part was the majority with 94.12%; 16 times higher than upper with 5.88%. The intraoperative complications were mild with an average blood loss of 42.72ml, the postoperative complication rate was low, and the average postoperative hospital stay was 11 days. Conclusion: The trend of gastric cancer in Vietnam was reported that it was still common in the elderly, mainly in male, and tumor location is almost in the non-cardia part. Diffuse-type gastric cancer had a more extensive level of invasion and worse prognosis than the intestinal type. Most patients administrated to the hospital were in advanced stages. The rate of complications and surgical complications was low and occurs in the more invasive tumors.
