Objective: The shift in stomach cancer localization has led to new perspectives in the treatment of proximal one-third of the stomach cancer, focusing on the type of resection between total gastrectomy and proximal gastrectomy. We compared the results of patients with proximal gastric cancer, which were treated either with PG or TG regarding postoperative complications, symptoms of reflux esophagitis, the number of dissected lymph nodes, short-term survival, and the compliance to the postoperative planned diet.
