Brief Summary:
To provide preventive and therapeutic strategies for participants with gallstones after gastric cancer by comparing the risk of postoperative gallbladder stone formation with two different resection ranges using the Roux-en-Y reconstruction modality in radical gastric cancer surgery.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Gallstone Gastric Cancer Procedure: Distal gastrectomy and radical resection Procedure: Total gastrectomy and radical resection Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
A large number of clinical studies have found that the incidence of gallstones in patients after radical gastric cancer surgery is higher than that in the normal population. However, the pathogenesis has not been clarified, and the prophylactic removal of the gallbladder in patients with gastric cancer remains controversial. A previous study found a statistically significant incidence of gallbladder stones after Billroth I versus Roux-en-Y in distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Therefore, the investigators plan to conduct a retrospected cohort study to collect further participants with gastric cancer who underwent total gastrectomy to answer whether different surgical resection ranges during surgery increase the incidence of gallstones this question.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Distal gastrectomy
Distal subtotal gastrectomy was performed after exclusion of contraindications to surgery. Gastrointestinal reconstruction was performed by residual gastrojejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Anastomosis was performed ex vivo or in vivo.
Procedure: Distal gastrectomy and radical resection
Distal gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis

Sham Comparator: Total gastrectomy
Total gastrectomy was performed after the exclusion of contraindications to surgery. Gastrointestinal reconstruction was performed by oesophageal jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Anastomosis was performed ex vivo or in vivo.
Procedure: Total gastrectomy and radical resection
Total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of gallstone patients [ Time Frame: 5years ]
    Two groups of patients with gastric cancer had a follow-up for more than one year and the number of patients with gallbladder stones on B-ultrasound or Computed Tomography (CT)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of patients with postoperative complications [ Time Frame: 5years ]
    The number of patients with postoperative complications such as abdominal haemorrhage, fistula, nausea, vomiting, abdominal infection and incision infection in 2 groups of gastric cancer patients

  2. Number of patients with bile duct stones [ Time Frame: 5years ]
    Two groups of patients with gastric cancer had a follow-up for more than one year. Clinical signs such as Charcot's triad and ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) show the number of patients with bile duct stones
