Abstract
Introduction: Radical gastrectomy is the treatment of choice
for the treatment of #gastric cancer located in the upper third of
stomach or in case of diffuse histology or cells in a signet ring. The
worst complication after a #radicalgastrectomy is the leakage of the #esophago-jejunal anastomosis, since it considerably increases the
morbidity and mortality of the patient.
Case Report: Wedescribe our experience after performing a radical
gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma in a patient who developed a
leakage of the esophago-jejunal anastomosis in the postoperative period.
Although he was reoperated, performing reinforcement of the #anastomosis and making a #feedingjejunostomy, the dehiscence progressed in the
following days until it became almost complete.
