Anastomotic failure complicated the postoperative course of 11 per cent of 350 gastric cancer patients who underwent total gastrectomy and esophagogastrectomy and was responsible for 33 per cent of all operative deaths. The extent of disease and the presence of tumor at the margin of resection did not prove to be significant factors in regard to the incidence of anastomotic failure. Gastrectomy combined with resection of other organs was associated with a significantly higher risk of failure. End-to-end esophagogastrectomy and esophagoduodenostomy appeared to be prone to failure, while Roux-en Y, jejunal pouch, and jejunal loop reconstructions were safer. Patients with severe intraabdominal or intrathoracic sepsis had a poor prognosis, and their management with surgical or conservative methods was ineffective. On the basis of these findings, alternatives to manual methods of visceral suturing should be considered.
