Title: Can Proximal Gastrectomy with Double-Tract Reconstruction Replace Total
Gastrectomy? a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and propensity score-matched
studies
Version: 0 Date: 21 Jun 2024
Reviewer's report:
The authors performed a meta-analysis to compare short- and long-term postoperative outcomes
between proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction and total gastrectomy.
Although this meta-analysis is significant in that only RCTs or PSMs were included, the content
reviewed is general and not new. It is obvious that the oncologic prognosis after proximal
gastrectomy is not different from that of total gastrectomy if the indications are strictly followed,
and it is also known that there is no difference in perioperative safety. Currently, the topics
surrounding proximal gastrectomy are the merits and demerits of anti-reflux mechanisms in
esophagogastric anastomosis or the usefulness of proximal gastrectomy in Siewert's type 2
junctional cancer. From this perspective, the content of this paper is outdated.
