Sintomi, esiti nutrizionali e qualità della vita dopo gastrectomia totale con ricostruzione Roux-en-Y: risultati di uno studio trasversale condotto su 80 sopravvissuti a lungo termine.

Impaired functional outcomes are common issues after total gastrectomy, although seldom explored at a long distance from surgery. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the long-term postoperative functional and nutritional results after Roux-en-Y total gastrectomy (RYTG). Patients with gastric neoplasms or CDH1 mutation undergoing RYTG between 2000 and 2021, with a minimum follow-up of 12 months, were interviewed to assess their functional and nutritional status and to measure their quality of life (QoL) with the GIQLI, EORTC-QLQ20 and EORTC-STO22 questionnaires. Statistical analysis was used to present these results and assess variables associated with body weight variation (BWV)
