Comparison of total versus subtotal gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer

Purpose Completion gastrectomy (CG) is a common procedure for remnant gastric cancer (RGC). However, partial gastrectomy for gastric cancer has several benefits compared to total gastrectomy in terms of the quality of life. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility and advantage of subtotal resection of the remnant stomach (SR) for clinical stage IA RGC.
