A number of 1031 patients with gastric cancer have been admitted in the First Surgical Clinic of Iasi between 1986-2001. The operability index was 86%, 52% being resectable and 36% having potential curative resection. In this group, 222 patients benefited from total gastrectomies. We consider the introduction of stapled eso-jejunal anastomosis (38 patients) as the most important moment in this development, as the manual performance anastomosis is considered difficult due to the problems imposed by suturing in a deep space. Postoperative course of patients who benefited from stapled anastomosis was simple although many patients had a poor biological status. We encountered only one small fistula, which was dealt with conservative. Patients in this group had immediate postoperative results significantly better than the comparative group with manually performed anastomosis. Introduction of stapler techniques increased the proportions of patients who benefited from palative total gastrectomies for advanced gastric cancer. We consider that a method to solve the frequent complications, insured an increased intraoperative comfort, reduced the number of postoperative complications, increased survival and improved patients quality of life.
