The paper reports the authors' experience in a group of 546 patients who underwent surgical treatment for gastric cancer from 1981 to 1988. Of 437 patients (80%) with advanced gastric cancer, 121 (28%) received palliative treatment and 316 (72%) were treated for curative purposes. Postoperative care was normal in 331 patients with a mean hospital stay of 11 days; various complications occurred in 106 patients with a mean hospital stay of 26 days. Overall operative mortality was 6% (27 patients). This study aimed to assess the main factor responsible for postoperative morbidity and mortality. Findings were compared to previously reported data and were shown to be similar.

Abstract
The paper reports the authors' experience in a group of 546 patients who underwent surgical treatment for gastric cancer from 1981 to 1988. Of 437 patients (80%) with advanced gastric cancer, 121 (28%) received palliative treatment and 316 (72%) were treated for curative purposes. Postoperative care was normal in 331 patients with a mean hospital stay of 11 days; various complications occurred in 106 patients with a mean hospital stay of 26 days. Overall operative mortality was 6% (27 patients). This study aimed to assess the main factor responsible for postoperative morbidity and mortality. Findings were compared to previously reported data and were shown to be similar.
