Abstract

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common cancer and the leading cause of death among cancers. Objective: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma at Ninh Binh Provincial General Hospital. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study of gastric adenocarcinoma patients who underwent subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy from January 2021 to December 2022 at Ninh Binh Provincial General Hospital. Results: The study included 65 patients, with the majority aged over 50 years, accounting for 92.3%. The male-to-female ratio was 73.2:26.2. The average surgical duration was 153.7 minutes (minimum 120, maximum 250 minutes). The average number of harvested lymph nodes was 15.7. The reconstruction technique was 72% Bilroth II and 28% Bilroth II-Braun. The majority of cases were stage IIb and IIIa, representing 23.1% and 41.5%, respectively. The overall complication rate was 23.1%, with the majority being mild. Some long-term outcomes recorded included: gastroesophageal reflux rate at 47.7%, anastomotic inflammation rate at 56.9%, and the average time to onset of anastomotic inflammation post-surgery: 15.4 ± 8.6 months. The average survival time was 52.1 ± 1.2 months. Conclusion: Subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is a safe and feasible procedure with low complication rates, suitable for provincial-level healthcare conditions.
