The Safety, Feasibility and Oncological Outcomes of Laparoscopic Completion Total Gastrectomy for Remnant Gastric Cancer

Not Applicable
Conditions
Remnant Gastric Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Laparoscopic completion total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy
Registration Number
NCT02792881
Lead Sponsor
Fujian Medical University
Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the safety, feasibility, and long-term oncological outcomes of laparoscopic completion total gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer.

Detailed Description

In 2005, since Yamada reported the first case of laparoscopic completion total gastrectomy (LCTG) for RGC, laparoscopic technology was widely used in the treatment of RGC. However, due to the low incidence and rapid aggravation of RGC, adhesion, anatomic changes, and more complex lymphatic pathways caused by the previous operation, the popularity of LCTG is limited. Therefore, higher level evidence is warranted to further confirm the safety, feasibility, and oncological outcomes of LCTG in patients with RGC. This prospective single-arm study is designed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and long-term oncological outcomes of laparoscopic completion total gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Morbidity30 days

The early postoperative complication are defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Operation time1 day

From skin incision to skin closure

Intraoperative morbidity rates1 day

With the number of patients undergoing surgery as the denominator, the number of patients with any of the following intraoperative complications is calculated as numerator.

3-year overall survival rate36 months
Rates of combined organ resection1 day

Combined organ resection performing by severe injury or abdominal adhesions

Technical performance1 day

Technical performance were assessed by the Objective Structured Assessments of Technical Skills (OSATS) and the Generic Error Rating Tool.

3-year disease free survival rate36 months
3-year recurrence pattern36 months

Recurrence patterns are classified into five categories at the time of first diagnosis: locoregional, hematogenous, peritoneal, distant lymph node, and mixed type

Intraoperative blood loss1 day
Mortality30days

The early mortality are defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery.

Inflammatory and immune response and nutrional status7 days

the values of hemoglobin, prealbumin, albumin, C-reactive protein, and white blood cell count from peripheral blood before the operation and on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 are recorded.

Textbook Outcome30 days

Textbook outcome (TO) was defined based on review of existing TO metrics in the literature including outcomes such as complete-potentially curative status, no intraoperative complications, no eventful postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher), 15 lymph nodes(LNs) examined, hospital stay \< 21days, no reintervention (surgical, endoscopic or radiological) within 30 days after surgery, no readmission to the intensive care unit (ICU) within 30 days after surgery, no postoperative mortality within 30 days after surgery, and no hospital readmission within 30 days after discharge. When all nine desired health outcomes were realized, TO was achieved.

The Surgery Task Load Index (SURG-TLX)1 day

Surgeons were required to complete one modified SURG-TLX questionnaire for each procedure.

Number of retrieved lymph nodes1 day

Number of retrieved lymph nodes

Postoperative recovery course10 days

Including time to first flatus, time to initiation of solid food intake, time to removal of intra-abdominal drains, hospital stay
