Comparison of Perioperative and Long‐term Outcomes of Total and Proximal Gastrectomy for Early Gastric Cancer: A Multi‐institutional Retrospective Study

Abstract

Three surgical procedures for U-EGC did not result in differences in weight loss, but PG-EG and PG-JI were better than TG-RY according to some nutritional markers. In U-EGC, where patients are expected to have long survival times, PG-EG and PG-JI should be used rather than TG-RY.
