Objective To summarize the experience in the treatment of anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy.Method The clinicopathologic data of 11 patients with anastomotic leakage after the laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy in the Nanchong Central Hospital from May 2016 to January 2018 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the 11 patients with anastomotic leakage, 3 were grade Ⅱ leakages and 8 were grade Ⅲa leakages. There were no symptoms in the 3 cases of anastomotic leakage, which were confirmed only by the gastrointestinal radiography and were healed after 7 d of conservative treatment. Among the 8 patients with the clinical symptoms, 5 cases were treated by the endoscopic drainage and negative pressure suction for 60–90 d, 3 cases were treated by the endoscopic covered stent, 2 cases were cured after 30–60 d, and 1 case died of massive bleeding after 45 d.Conclusions Due to differences of location, time, limitation, and size of anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy, individualized treatment should be performed according to specific situation of patients in local treatment. Endoluminal covered stent has certain clinical application value.
