“…To perform a successful anastomosis, the stomach should be completely mobilized using the Kocher maneuver and the right gastric artery should be divided to enable a long gastric tube to be obtained. Moreover, we previously devised a procedure that involves the separate division and closure of the seromuscular and submucosal/mucosal layers along the greater curvature, yielding a gastric tube with a longer effective length and sufficient blood flow 17 . However, some of our patients in whom the TBF after anastomosis was insufficient developed anastomotic leakage.…”
