General perioperative management of gastric cancer patients at high-volume centers

Abstract: Background Gastric cancer is very common in Korea and Japan, where many hospitals annually perform high numbers of gastrectomies for gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the general management of gastric cancer in high-volume centers in Korea and Japan.Methods We undertook a survey of the general management of gastric cancer at high-volume centers (over 200 cases/year) and analyzed the answers. Results In six of 14 hospitals surveyed, antimicrobial prophylaxis for elective gastrectomy was admin… Show more

“…However, several institutions in Asia and Europe still adhere to 3-4 days of postoperative fasting after gastrectomy due to concerns about the feasibility and safety of an early postoperative oral diet [10,11]. Nonetheless, the present study shows that early postoperative oral nutrition can be initiated as early as on the first postoperative day after gastrectomy without increasing postoperative morbidity, including gastrointestinal-related complications or aspiration pneumonia.…”

“…According to surveys conducted in Asia and Europe, many institutions still adhere to 3-4 days of postoperative fasting after gastrectomy, which is often accompanied by decompression of the stomach and the administration of a large amount of intravenous fluid [10,11]. Furthermore, proponents of traditional postoperative fasting after gastrectomy often cite concerns of anastomosis safety and aspiration pneumonia.…”

“…North American series have reported 14 or 15 gastric cancer cases per year as a marker of a high-volume gastric cancer center [27,34]. In Asia, 200 cases per year are considered a marker of a high-volume institution [37][38][39]. Gastric cancer surgery has been centralized in some countries such as the UK, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, and Finland [40].…”
