Department of Stomach Intestine Surgery, Tumor Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150081, China Corresponding author: XUE Ying-wei, E-mail: XYW801@sina.com Abstract Objective To study the feasibility, safety and clinical effects of “two-point” stoma and pacing tubes bilateral through afferent loop of Billroth Ⅱ anastomosis in the early postoperative enteral nutrition and adjuvant chemotherapy for patients of gastric cancer. Methods 62 patients with gastric cancer underwent Billroth Ⅱ and Braun anastomosis were randomLy divided into experimental group (jejunostomy group, n=28) and control group (through nose group, n=34). All of the patients received EN 1d after surgery and continue at least 7d. experimental group received enteral nutrition through the tube during chemotherapy, the adverse effect, nutritional status and gastrointestinal comp lications were carefully observed during early postoperative enteral nutrition. A series of parameters were measured post chemotherapy. Results In early postoperative enteral nutrition, the incidence rate of disadvantage spit sputum and dyssomnia of experimental group were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05).The incidences of complication in experimental group was higher than that of in control group, but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). After treatment for 7 days postoperation, the ratios of prealbumin were significantly increased in experimental group (t=2.347, P<0.05), and the level of WBC in experimental group was lower than control group (t=2.870, P<0.01). In post-chemotherapy, the nutritional status and immune state of experimental group were better than control group (P<0.05). Conclusion It is safe and feasible to enteral nutrition supported by “two-point” stoma and pacing tubes bilateral through afferent loop of patients with Billroth Ⅱ and Braun anastomosis. The method gives one more nutritional way for patients after operation.
