Objective: The article provides the study results, the purpose of which was to check whether there is a relationship between the type of reconstructive surgery and the quality of life of patients. The results of reconstructive surgeries in 90 patients diagnosed with stomach cancer who underwent gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy were analysed. Methods: All patients were randomised into three groups, depending on the method of gastrointestinal tract reconstruction. The study also evaluated the quality of life of patients after gastrectomy using the QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OG25 questionnaires. Result: The study results did not demonstrate the superiority of one method of reconstructive surgery over another. Patients who underwent Omega reconstruction generally functioned better physically and emotionally, and complained less often of pain, insomnia and diarrhoea. Patients after gastrointestinal tract reconstruction using the Roux-en-Y method reported less nausea and vomiting, eating disorder and anxiety. Conclusion: Based on the obtained data, it was concluded that currently it is impossible to state unequivocally which method of gastrointestinal tract reconstruction improves the quality of life of patients after gastrectomy, however, it should be clearly noted that QLQ questionnaires are a useful tool for evaluation of the quality of life of patients after gastrectomy.
