Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shortterm outcome of a pylorus-preserving proximal gastrectomy by comparing it with a jejunal interposition after a total gastrectomy in proximal gastric adenocarcinoma. Materials and Methods: For 22 patients (12 men and 10 women) who underwent a pylorus-preserving proximal gastrectomy, several clinical parameters were obtained from the medical records retrospectively. In this study, the data were collected between September 1993 and December 1999 at Chungnam National University Hospital, and the results were compared with those of 25 patients (17 men and 8 women) who underwent an isoperistaltic simple jejunal interposition. Results: The average operative time in the pylorus-preserving proximal gastrectomy group (220 minutes) was shorter than that in the jejunal interposition group (243 minutes) (P<0.05). The hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were significantly higher in the pylorus-preserving proximal gastrectomy group at 2 years after the operation. The body weight ratio (postoperative body weight/preoparative body weight) in patients who had a pylorus-preserving proximal gastrectomy was significantly higher than that in patients with a jejunal interposition at 2 years after the operation. The jejunal interposition procedure had better outcomes in anastomotic site stricture, duration of hospital stay, and number of removed lymph nodes (P<0.05). Conclusions: We think that from the viewpoint of quality of life, a pylorus-preserving proximal gastrectomy, as well as a jejunal interposition, is a useful reconstruction method for early adenocarcinomas of the proximal stomach. However, stricture of the esophagogastrostomy site in the pyloruspreserving proximal gastrectomy is a common problem to be solved in the future.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shortterm outcome of a jejunal interposition, by comparing it with a conventional Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy, after a total gastrectomy. Materials and Methods: For 28 patients (20 men and 8 women) with a gastric adenocarcinoma, who underwent an isoperistaltic simple jejunal interposition, weight, hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum protein and albumin, and cholesterol levels were checked before the operation and at 1 year and 2 years after the surgery. Also, endoscopy was performed to confirm reflux esophagitis. In this study, the data were collected between January 1993 and July 1999 at Chungnam National University Hospital, and the results were compared with those of the Roux-en-Y procedure. Results: The body weights at 1 year and 2 years after the surgery had returned to $86.0\%$ and $87.6\%$ of the recent original body weight in the jejunal interposition (JI) group and to $90.8\%,\;87.0\%$, respectively in the Roux-en-Y (RY) group. The levels of hemoglobin (g/dl) were 13.3, 12.5, and 11.9 in the JI group, and 13.8, 12.6, and 12.1 in the RY group at the time of the operation and at 1 year, and 2 years after the surgery, respectively. The total serum protein (g/dl) levels were 7.1, 7.2, and 7.5 in the JI group and 7.1, 7.0, and 7.2 in the RY gropu at the time of the operation and at 1 year and 2 years after the surgery, respectively. The serum albumin (g/dl) levels were 4.2, 4.1, and 4.2 in the JI group and 4.2, 4.2, and 4.2 in the RY group at the time of the operation and at 1 year, and 2 years after the surgery, respectively. The total serum cholesterol (mg/dl) levels were 186.5, 174, and 164 in the JI group and 213.7, 171.1, and 141.0 in the RY group at the time of the operation and at 1 year and 2 years after the surgery, respectively. The endoscopic finding showed that reflux esophagitis occurred in $7.1\%$ of the patients in the JI group and in $3.5\%$ in the RY group. Conclusion: We think that from the view point of quality of life, a jejunal interposition, as well as a Roux-en-Y procedure, is a useful reconstruction methods for a total gastrectomy.

Besides gastric pull-up or colonic interposition, microvascular technique in esophageal reconstruction has been approved reliable methods. When free intestinal transfer is considered, jejunal free flap is commonly used. We treated the patient who had undergone reconstruction with a right colon interposition and suffered from inability of swallowing because of stricture and necrosis of the interposed flap. Although we have planned jejunal free transfer, we couldn't use jejunum due to adhesion by previous gastrojejunostomy and colon interposition. Salvage procedure with microvascualr free left colon flap was executed successfully. After 9 month follow-up, the patient was able to consume a normal diet.

Colon interposition is commonly used for esophageal reconstruction in patients with a previous gastrectomy. However, when colon interposition fails and alternative reconstruction is required, there are few options for reconstructing the long segment from the esophagus to the stomach. Here, we report on cases of esophagogastric reconstruction with limited alternative options after the failure of transverse and left colon interposition. In these cases, reconstruction was performed using two different microvascular methods: double-pedicle jejunal free flap and supercharged ileocolic interposition graft.

목적: 위전절제술 후 이용될 수 있는 재건 술식에 대해서는 많은 방법들이 보고되어 왔지만 지금까지도 이상적인 술식에 대해서는 논쟁의 여지가 있고 장기간에 걸친 비교 연구는 더욱이 부족한 실정이다. 이에 저자는 본원에서 실시한 4가지 술식들인 Roux-en-Y 술식(R-Y), 공장간치술(JI), 공장낭간치술(JPI), Double-tract 재건술(DT)간의 경과 관찰을 통해 보다 나은 재건 술식을 찾고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 2000년 8월부터 2004년 1월까지 위암으로 근치적 위전절제수술을 받고 재발이 없고 추적이 가능한 환자 중 80세 이상과 병기 IV기를 제외하고 재건 술식에 따라 RY군(n=15), JI군(n=8), JPI군(n=8), DT군(n=10)으로 분류한 총 41명의 환자를 대상으로 수술 후 증상, 수술 후 1년, 3년째의 혈액 및 생화학적 검사의 변화, 체중 변화를 포함한 영양학적 변화 및 삶의 질을 평가하기위한 GSRS score를 분석하였다. 또한 내시경 소견을 통해 위식도 역류 여부를 확인하였다. 결과: 검사실소견은 3년째 총단백과 알부민에서 DT군이 유의하게 낮은 결과를 보였고(P=0.006, P=0.033), 체중감소는 JI군이 1년, 3년째에서 수술 전 체중의 84.50%, 86.50%로 가장 많았다(P=0.013, P=0.011). GSRS score에서 JPI군이 수술 후 1년, 3년 모두에서 유의하게 더 좋은 결과를 보였다. (P=0.028, P=0.003). 결론: 공장낭간치술은 위전절제술 후 환자의 삶의 질을 높일 수 있는 유용한 재건 방식으로 생각된다.

Gastric cancer is a rare condition affecting patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The mainstay of treatment is total gastrectomy. Since duodenal cancer is the most common cause of death after total colectomy in FAP, endoscopic surveillance for duodenal cancer is mandatory. Here, we describe the use of an isoperistaltic jejunal loop interposition technique to reconstruct the digestive tract after total gastrectomy in 2 patients with FAP. There were no early or late complications. Both patients are still alive and in good clinical condition. They did not experience weight loss or symptoms of dumping syndrome. Duodenal endoscopic surveillance after this technique was easier than after the classical Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Hence, regular follow-up was possible for both patients.

Since Carrel in 1907 reported transfer of a free jejunal segment in dog, reconstruction of the cervical esophagus and hypopharynx has been accomplished successfully with free jejunal transplantation using microvascular technique. Free jejunal graft is useful in cases of failed colonic interpositions. Three patients with benign esophageal stricture had undergone reconstruction with right colon interposition. Because of necrosis and stricture of the interposed colon, in each case the defect was reconstructed with a free jejunal graft by using microvascular technique. The postoperative course in two patients was uncomplicated, and they were able to eat general diet. Graft necrosis occurred in one patient, but she is waiting for a reoperation.

The cervical esophageal stricture has various surgical modalities and difficulties in reconstruction. We had experienced a case of successful reconstruction of the cervical esophageal restenosis using the free jejunal graft, on 30 year old man had had esophageal stricture after ingestion of lye. He had undergone colon interposition[esophagocologastrostomy] with left colon feeding gastrostomy. But restenosis was occurred just above of the cervical esophagocolostomy site several times of balloon dilatation were failed. So, we decided to use of the free jejunal graft. The free jejunal graft was isolated about 15cm length with it`s vascular arcades. The graft was irrigated with the mixed solution as isotonic saline, heparin and papaverine chloride. The artery of graft was anastomosed to the branch of the external carotid artery in end to side with continuous sutures of the 8.0 Prolene. The vein of the graft was anastomosed to the branch of the anterior facial vein in end to end with continuous sutures of the 8.0 prolene. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged after removal of the tracheostomy cannula and gastrostomy tube.

Reconstructive surgery for corrosive esophageal stricture was performed in 392 patients at National Medical Center from 1959 to 1990 Between Jan. 1971 and Dec. 1990, 23 cases were experienced stenotic anastoma of neck after reconstructive surgery for corrosive esophageal stricture. The major procedure of esophageal reconstruction was colon interposition without resection of the strictured esophagus except jejunal interposition in 1 case. There were 12 males % 11 females, and mean age was forty years. The caustic materials were 16[70%] alkali and 7[30%] acid. Half of the cases had hypopharyngeal injury. After reconstructed surgery, dysphagia was developed immediate in 65%, from 2 months to 5 months in 31%, and from years in 4%[1 case]. The complications were anastomatic leakage in 13 cases, anastomatic stenosis in 8 cases, graft gangrene in 1 case, and cancer development in 1 case. The therapeutic procedures were end-to-end anstomolis & partial resection of stenotic anastoma in 18 cases, bourgination in 2 cases, and coin interposition with graft removal in 3 cases. The therapeutic results were excellent in 16 cases, mild discomfort in 3 cases, poor in 3 cases, and death in 1 cases.
