Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the method of alimentary reconstruction after laparoscopic total gastrectomy.
METHODSThe clinical data of 12 patients undergone laparoscopic total gastrectomy and side- to- side esophagojejunal anastomosis from Feb. 2006 to Oct. 2006 were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTSLaparoscopic side- to- side esophagojejunal anastomosis was successfully performed in 12 patients. The mean operation time was (247.0+/- 13.1) min and the anastomosis time was (43.5+/- 10.4) min. Bleeding volume during operation was (107.5+/- 44.9)ml. The distance between anastomosis and proximal margin of tumor was (3.4+/- 1.2)cm. There was no postoperative death, fistula or anastomotic stenosis occurred after short- term follow- up.
CONCLUSIONThe modified laparoscopic side- to- side esophagojejunal anastomosis is a safe, less challenging and more economic method of alimentary reconstruction after laparoscopic total gastrectomy.
