Abstract:
Selection of the ideal technique for alimentary tract reconstruction after gastrointestinal surgery has been a major concern for surgeons. Although various reconstruction methods are available after gastrectomy, there are obvious differences between proximal gastrectomy and other procedures because of its characteristics in anatomy and physiology. It is an important way to make an individualized and feasible scheme for reconstruction in order to improve patient's quality of life.
