Key Risk Factors Identified for Anastomotic Leakage and Gastroparesis Post-Gastrectomy

Hypoalbuminemia and significant intraoperative blood loss elevate anastomotic leakage risk after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. Conversely, total gastrectomy offers protection against this complication. Among patients post-distal gastrectomy, smoking, pyloric obstruction, and Roux-en-Y anastomosis correlate with increased gastroparesis syndrome risk. This robust analysis of 3,779 patients clarifies factors influencing postoperative complications, challenging previous management paradigms for proximal tumors.
