Novel Esophago-Jejunal Anastomosis Method During Totally Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy

Novel Esophago-Jejunal Anastomosis Method During Totally Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy: π-shape Esophagojejunostomy, Three-in-one Technique

Laparoscopic gastrectomy became a good option for early gastric cancer. Surgical trend is gradually changed to totally laparoscopic gastrectomy from laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy requiring mini-laparotomy. Various types of intracorporeal anastomosis have been introduced for esophagojejunostomy during total gastrectomy. We invented a novel anastomosis method using linear stapler for total gastrectomy. Three procedures (Jejunal resection, esophageal resection and closure of common entry hole after anastomosis) was performed with only one stapler. Therefore, the novel method is simple and fast. Also, this new technique is better economically than previously introduced anastomosis using linear stapler because lesser number of stapler is required. We want to demonstrate the feasibility of novel intracorporeal anastomosis method during laparoscopic total gastrectomy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy
Patient group with intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy with linear stapler
Procedure: Intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy
Under laparoscopic view, esophagojejunostomy was pereformed with 60mm linear stapler on right side of distal esophagus like as functional end-to-end fashion before esophageal and jejunal resection. Then, three procedures of esophageal resection, common entry hole closure and jejunal resection was performed with a single use of 60mm stapler. Also, jejunojejunostomy was also performed via already made staple entry hole.
