Resumen:
Background: Esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage (EJAL) is among the most feared complications after gastric cancer surgery; they entail an uncertain prognosis and relate with increased morbidity and mortality. Factors associated with their development are not well determined, and their diagnosis and treatment vary between institutions. Material and methods: Retrospective case-control study of patients operated of total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy from January 2002 to December 2018. We divided our sample into two groups based on the presence of EJAL, and compared demographic, clinical, and histologic variables. We performed a logistic regression model to search risk factors associated with EJAL and described the management offered in our center. Results: We included 58 patients of which 8 (13.7%) presented clinically relevant EJAL. On the comparative analysis, albumin levels and diffuse histology presented a statistically significant difference between groups and presented association with EJAL in the logistic regression model. Regarding treatment of EJAL, ten patients (55.5%) required only conservative measures, whereas eight patients (44.4%) warranted an endoscopic or surgical intervention. Conclusion: Our retrospective analysis identified some factors that may be associated with the development of EJAL after gastric cancer surgery. High suspicion and prompt identification of this complication is essential to improve postoperative outcomes in this group. © 2022 Publicaciones Permanyer. All rights reserved.
