Effect of different digestive tract reconstruction methods on life quality of patients with advanced gastric cancer

Objective To investigate the effect of different digestive tract reconstruction methods on life quality of patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods Ninety-two patients with advanced gastric cancer in department of oncology, The First People's Hospital of Lanzhou were selected, and they were divided into A, B, C group. BillrothⅠ, BillrothⅡ and Roux-en-Y digestive tract reconstruction were performed. The life quality improvement before and after the reconstruction were compared. Results There were statistically significant differences in total serum protein (64.24±8.76) g/L vs (62.54±9.76) g/L vs (68.65±11.43) g/L and former albumin (336.56±67.76) g/L vs (330.76±61.65) g/L vs (346.65±83.54) g/L in three groups (P＜0.05). However, there was no significant difference in hemoglobin (P＞0.05). Before the reconstruction of the digestive tract, the life quality of patients in three groups had no significant difference (P＞0.05). After the reconstruction of digestive tract, there was no difference in quality of life between group B and group A (P＞0.05), while, the life quality of group C was higher than group A and group B (84.95±13.27) vs (70.58±9.35) vs (72.15±10.32) (P＜0.05). Conclusion All three digestive tract reconstruction methods are helpful in improving the life quality of patients, among which Roux-en-Y reconstruction is more effective.
