[Attach importance to functional evaluation after gastric-preserving surgery].

Currently, The treatment methods for early gastric cancer mainly include endoscopic resection and surgical resection. Traditional radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer often results in complications such as impaired quality of life, weight loss, and post-gastrectomy syndrome. Function-preserving gastric surgery (FPG) aims to ensure radical resection of early gastric cancer while selecting appropriate reconstruction methods, minimizing the extent of surgery, and preserving gastric function as much as possible, which can improve patients' quality of life. However, there is currently a lack of standardized postoperative functional evaluation criteria for function preserving gastrectomy, and the selection of functional evaluation methods in clinical practice is often biased, which cannot effectively evaluate the overall function of patients. Therefore, this article discusses the functional evaluation of gastric preservation surgery from three aspects: postoperative quality of life, recovery of gastric function, and nutritional status.
