FIGURE 4 • Completed Roux-en-Y reconstruction. (From Fischer et al. Mastery of Surgery. 5th ed. Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007, with permission.)
There are several potential pitfalls during a routine gastrectomy. The gastrohepatic ligament might contain an accessory left hepatic artery (15% to 20%) and sometimes it represents the only arterial flow to the left lobe of the liver.
https://t.me/med1917
Proximal ligation of left gastric artery in such case may result in hepatic ischemia. Injury to the spleen or its vessels may sometimes need splenectomy to control hemorrhage. Positive esophageal resection margin may require re­resection of the distal esophageal margin. When a transhiatal esophagetomy is attempted for a GE junction tumor, a positive gastric resection may sometimes need a total esophagogas-trectomy with colon/jejunum interposition. Stapled duodenal stump often does not need further reinforcement with additional sutures; however, when it looks ischemic, we recommend oversewing it with Lembert sutures to prevent duodenal stump leak, which is a disastrous postoperative complication.
Special Intraoperative Considerations
GE junction tumors extending into the body of the stomach, where a 5 cm margin could not be achieved, will require total gastrectomy with esophagectomy. We prefer colon interposition in this situation. The left colonic segment based on the ascending branch of the left colic vessels is used. When the colon is absent or has extensive diverticulosis, jejunal conduit can be used.
Postoperative Management
We place a nasogastric tube (threaded beyond the gastrojejunal anastomosis intraoperatively), which is maintained on low intermittent suction. Postoperative pain control and early ambulation is the key to faster recovery.
https://t.me/med1917
Jejunostomy feeding is started on post-op day 2. Drains are removed on the fourth postoperative day if the bilirubin and amylase in the drain fluid is less than three times the serum values. Oral feeding is started once it is established that the patient does not have an intra-abdominal leak from esophagojejunostomy. A contrast swallow study can effectively rule out a leak in this situation if it is suspected. A dietitian can help the patient adapt to the changed eating habit of small frequent meals. Multivitamin, B12, and iron
supplementation will be needed for life in case of total gastrectomy. If the patient does not experience complications, they are discharged home around sixth to seventh postoperative day.
TAKE HOME POINTS
Upper GI endoscopy is diagnostic and EUS provides the tumor and lymph node stage. PET-CT is emerging as a vital diagnostic tool in diagnosing regional as well as distant metastasis. Most Siewert type II GE junction tumors are staged and treated like an esophageal cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has shown to improve survival rate in locally advanced tumors and is being recommended by many surgeons and oncologists. Total gastrectomy with Roun-en-y esophagojejunostomy remains the operation of choice for locally advanced resectable proximal (upper one-third) gastric carcinoma.

Current NCCN guidelines state that at least 15 lymph nodes should be retrieved for adequate staging, mostly achieved through a D2 lymph nodal dissection. Postoperative chemotherapy and radiation is advised for locally advanced cancers.

Bleeding Gastric Ulcer
DANIELLE FRITZE and MICHAEL MULHOLLAND
Presentation
A 58-year-old man presents to the emergency room following several episodes of coffee ground emesis. While awaiting evaluation, he suddenly vomits a large volume of bright red blood. As he is urgently transported to a resuscitation bay, his wife explains that he is generally healthy except for the stomach ulcer he had the previous year. He completed a course of two antibiotics for the ulcer and continues to take omeprazole daily. He has never had an operation and takes no other medications. On exam, the patient is distressed but alert, oriented, and no longer vomiting. Ini tial vital signs reveal tachycardia with a pulse of 115 and blood pressure of 100/70. He has mild discomfort with deep palpation in the epigastrium, and the remainder of his exam is unremarkable.
Differential Diagnosis
For patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, the source may be located in any portion of the GI tract, from the oropharnyx through the ligament of Trietz
(Figure 1). Peptic ulcers are the most common cause of
upper GI hemorrhage requiring hospitalization, implicated in nearly half of all cases. Mallory-Weiss tears, esophageal varices, and erosive disease each account for an additional 10%. While neoplasms such as adenocarcinoma or gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) are less common sources, their accurate identification is particularly important for treatment planning. Rare causes of GI hemorrhage include Dieulafoy’s lesions, gastric varices, and hemobilia.

FIGURE 1 • Sources of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Although the differential diagnosis for upper GI bleeding is broad, individual patient risk factors may point to a particular source. For example, patients with portal hypertension are at particular risk of variceal bleeding. In anyone who has had an aortic aneurysm repair, aortoenteric fistula must be immediately considered as a potentially lethal source of GI hemorrhage. This patient’s ulcer history makes a recurrent gastric ulcer the most probable source of hematemesis.
Workup
Immediate management of upper GI bleeding is dictated by the patient’s clinical condition. If the airway may be compromised by bleeding or diminished mental status, the patient should be intubated. Adequate intravenous access should be established promptly, with administration of crystalloid or blood products as appropriate for the patient’s vital signs and rate of blood loss. Patients taking warfarin or antiplatelet agents are likely to require reversal of their coagulopathy. Nasogastric (NG) tube placement can be diagnostic of an upper GI bleed if bright red blood is aspirated. NG tube placement also allows for evacuation of gastric contents and a rough estimation of the rate of bleeding.
https://t.me/med1917
History and physical exam are rarely diagnostic for a bleeding ulcer but may provide information useful in its management. Most patients with gastric ulcers report symptoms of gnawing or burning epigastric pain with a waxing and waning course. Classically, discomfort from gastric ulcers is exacerbated by oral i ntake. Slow, chronic blood loss may cause melena and lead to symptoms of anemia. Identification of risk factors for ulcer development such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, smoking, or multiple endocrine neoplasia type I syndrome (MEN I) lends insight into the underlying etiology of the ulcer. Knowledge of any anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents taken by the patient allows for appropriate management of the associated coagulopathy. Physical exam is often unremarkable in ulcer patients, but some will exhibit epigastric tenderness. Peritoneal signs raise concern for perforation that infrequently accompanies hemorrhage. In the acutely bleeding patient, the main utility of physical exam is to identify signs of shock and estimate the degree of blood loss.
In parallel with the initial resuscitation, diagnostic studies are undertaken. Serum hematocrit, coagulation profile, and blood type and screen are obtained; hematocrit is followed serially. Peritoneal signs should prompt an upright chest x-ray to evaluate for pneumoperitoneum. In the absence of peritonitis, no imaging studies are necessary. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is the most effective means of locating the source of upper GI bleeding, with successful identification of the responsible lesion in 95% of patients. In rare cases where the source of bleeding is not located on initial endoscopy, repeat EGD, angiography, or technetium-99m–labeled red blood cell scan may be successful.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Once a gastric ulcer is identified, endoscopic therapy is guided by the risk of recurrent hemorrhage and the patient’s clinical stability. Although bleeding frequently resolves spontaneously, specific stigmata of hemorrhage
https://t.me/med1917
predict continued or recurrent bleeding and the need for intervention (Table 1). Ulcers with evidence of active bleeding or a visible vessel within the lesion (Forrest grade 1a, 1b, and 2a) are at highest risk. Ulcers with an adherent clot and underlying oozing are also prone to recurrent bleeding. Endoscopic intervention is indicated for each of these high-risk lesions. Options include the application of clips, thermal coagulation, or injection of a vasoconstricting or sclerosing agent. When feasible, biopsy of the ulcer is important to identify any associated malignancy. Antral biopsies are used to establish a histologic diagnosis of
Helicobacter pylori.
For patients with a bleeding ulcer, endoscopic interventions carry a 90% success rate in achieving initial hemostasis. If a patient rebleeds after endoscopic intervention, a second endoscopic attempt at hemostasis is made and has been demonstrated in a randomized trial to be safer than proceeding to surgery. However, for bleeding that cannot be controlled endoscopically (after two attempts), or for patients with hemorrhagic shock, surgery may be lifesaving.

Following initial hemostasis, the etiology of the ulcer
must be identified and addressed.
H. pylori
and NSAIDs
are the two most important factors contributing to the development of gastric ulcers (Table 2). Each is implicated in over 50% of cases, with additive effects. Tobacco use is also contributory. Four percent of gastric ulcers harbor an underlying malignancy, most commonly gastric adenocarcinoma. In rare cases, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, either sporadic or associated with MEN I, may be at fault. Ulcer location may also offer insight into etiology.
