Abstract

There is no consensus regarding the operation of choice for pathological changes in the proximal stomach, distal esophagus and the area of the cardio-esophageal junction to the present day. In addition to malignancy and peptic ulcer disease, a refractory course of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the absence of any effect from primary antireflux surgery may be an indication for performing cardiectomy with reconstruction. To make a choice of the surgical treatment for pathologies of the distal esophagus and proximal stomach method, it is necessary to compare the efficiency and safety profiles of these techniques in many parameters. The main indicators of the effectiveness of reconstructive operations after cardiectomy, are the frequency and severity of a large group of functional disorders characterized as “dumping syndrome” or “postgastrectomy syndrome”. A huge number of different types of anastomosis after cardiectomy has been proposed and studied. Nevertheless, an an objective evaluation of the results of these anastomosis types’ use, indicates that the hopes placed on them did not come true in most cases. It indicates insufficient coverage of this problem in scientific literature, despite the continuing interest of surgeons.
