Overview
The authors present a study on rates and management of complications of gastric carcinoma surgeries. During a five-year period, a total of 149 patients with gastric carcinomas were operated in the Ist Surgical Clinic (Charles University Faculty Hospital). Radical resections were performed in 121 subjects. In 7 subjects, upper pole resections were performed. 21 subjects underwent paliative therapy or surgical exploration. In the authors’ study group, no serious perioperative complications were recorded. The following postoperative complications were observed: fistulas in esophagojejunal anastomosis (8x), duodenal stub fistula (1x), subphrenic abscess (2x), adhesive ileus (1x). In two subjects, esophagojejunal stricture was diagnosed during the late postoperative period. Incisional hernia was diagnosed in two subjects. Two subjects exited- the first one from respiratory failure with ARDS syndrome in esophagojejunal dehiscence, the second subject died of hepatorenal failure in liver cirrhosis. Complications cannot be excluded in any surgical procedure. Should they occur, their timely diagnosis and adequate treatment is required.
Key words:
gastric carcinoma – treatment complications – surgical therapy
