Abstract
Among twenty-two patients who have undergone total gastrectomy with Hunt-Lawrence
jejunal pouch and Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy, eight have survived from three to
five years without evidence of recurrence of their primary disease. These patients
have been carefully evaluated. Their ability to gain and maintain weight, to eat abundantly
in comfort, to return to their preoperative work and physical activities, and to be
free of dumping, diarrhea, and severe dietary restrictions has been significantly
better than in patients with other types of alimentary reconstruction which we have
used after total gastrectomy. Five of this group have gained 13, 14, 27, 35, and 44
pounds, respectively, since discharge from the hospital.
Details of clinical follow-up and metabolic appraisal are presented.
