Comparing two methods for esophagojejunostomy in gastric cancer surgery

Official title: Comparison Of Short-term Outcomes Between OGT-assisted Overlap Esophagojejunostomy And Traditional Overlap Method In Patients With Siewert III/II Esophagogastric Junction Cancer Or Gastric Cancer

Run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University · NCT05450835 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new surgical method for connecting the esophagus to the intestine in patients with certain types of stomach cancer to see if it is safer and more effective than the traditional method.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-80 with pathologically diagnosed gastric adenocarcinoma, expected to live more than one year, and suitable for laparoscopic total gastrectomy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with advanced stage IV gastric cancer or severe comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the OGT-assisted overlap esophagojejunostomy method compared to the traditional overlap method during laparoscopic total gastrectomy for patients with Siewert III/II esophagogastric junction cancer and gastric cancer. It is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label trial involving 312 patients who will be divided into two groups: one receiving the OGT method and the other receiving the traditional method. The primary focus is on early operative morbidity and mortality, while secondary outcomes include the success rate of anvil fork insertion and postoperative recovery metrics.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to safer surgical techniques with improved outcomes for patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have indicated promising outcomes for the OGT method, but this trial aims to provide definitive evidence through a randomized controlled approach.
