Postoperative long-term evaluation of interposition reconstruction compared with Roux-en-Y after total gastrectomy in gastric cancer: prospective randomized controlled trial

Short-term outcomes of intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy using the transorally inserted anvil versus extracorporeal circular anastomosis during laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a propensity score matching analysis

“…Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy as a method for digestive tract reconstruction after LTG has been accepted and used around the globe because of reliable anastomosis, less postoperative complications, and reduced reflux [18,19]. Conventional Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy is performed extracorporeally using a circular stapler via a minilaparotomy in the midline.…”

Semi‐end‐to‐end esophagojejunostomy after laparoscopy‐assisted total gastrectomy better reduces stricture and leakage than the conventional end‐to‐side procedure: A retrospective study

“…However, the method by which to perform digestive tract reconstruction after TG was always considered the main obstacle for surgeons. ETS EJ after Roux‐en‐Y reconstruction was reported in 1947, and it became the most widely used reconstruction method because it could be simply performed with few anastomotic stoma and could effectively prevent reflux esophagitis …”

A safe anastomotic technique of using the transorally inserted anvil (OrVil™) in Roux-en-Y reconstruction after laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for proximal malignant tumors of the stomach

“…Because there are less postoperative complications and reflux after the total gastrectomy, and because there is better nutritional status and the ideal body weight can be maintained, the Roux-en-Y esophagojejunal anastomosis after LATG has been widely used, with the features of ease of use and speed [17,18]. Small incision-assisted reconstruction of the digestive tract is a method which drags the required intestines outside the abdominal cavity, and then completes the reconstruction extracorporeally or places stapling through the incision.…”
