Abstract:
With the abuse of antibiotics, pathogenic bacteria more resistant to infection, prevention and control of postoperative, we conducted a systematic analysis of the pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance in patients with infection after surgery. At the same time, we evaluate long-term outcomes between laparoscopy-assisted and open approaches to total gastrectomy for upper gastric cancer. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. We matched all 246 laparoscopic cases 1:1 with open cases according to age, sex, body mass index and clinical TNM stage. The laparoscopy-assisted approach was associated with a significant decrease in surgical blood loss, number of analgesic injections, time to first flatus and length of hospital stay relative to the open approach. The postoperative morbidity did not differ between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups in OS and DFS. The laparoscopy-assisted approach to total gastrectomy for upper gastric cancer results in comparable long-term survival compared with laparotomy.
