Abstract
Objective To explore the practicability and security of the ultracision harmonic scalpel in radical gastrectomy for patients with proximal gastric cancer.Methods 115 patients of stage Ⅰ ~ Ⅲ proximal gastric cancer undergone radical gastrectomy were analyzed retrospectively.65 patients were performed with ultracision harmonic scalpel,the other 50 patients were performed with conventional operation.The operative time,volume of intraoperative hemorrhage,length of incision,and postoperative complications were analyzed.Results There were significant difference in operative time ( 126.9 ± 20.7 ) min and ( 150.6 ± 31.7 ) min ( P < 0.05 ),volume of intraoperative hemorrhage (105.7 ±40.3)ml and (171.7 ±63.2)ml(P<0.01) and length of incision(17.2 ±2.1)cm and (20.3 ±2.3)cm (P < 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in the postoperative complications between ultracisiou harmonic scalpel group and conventional group.All patients recovered without severe complications.Conclusion Radical resection of proximal gastric cancer using ultracision harmonic scalpel could shorten operative time,decrease intraoperative hemorrhage,shorten incision length,and the technique is convenient and safe. Key words: Stomach neoplasms; Gastrectomy; Ultracision harmonic scalpel
