Assessing the Incidence of Postoperative Diabetes in Gastric Cancer Patients: A Comparative Study of Roux-en-Y Gastrectomy and Other Surgical Reconstruction Techniques

Study objective Sleeve gastrectomy is effective in morbid obesity, and it improves glucose homeostasis. In gastric cancer patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, gastrectomy, including total gastrectomy (TG), is beneficial for glycaemic control. However, the effects of gastrectomy and different reconstructive techniques on the incidence of postoperative diabetes in gastric cancer patients are unclear. This study investigated the development of new-onset diabetes in these patients, focusing on different reconstruction methods.
