Abstract: Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of totally laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy (TLDG)and intracorporeal gastroduodenostomy using laparoscopic linear staplers in gastric cancer patients.Methods Clinical data were reviewed on the perioperative outcomes of 17 gastric cancer patients who received totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and intracorporeal gastroduodenostomy using endoscopic linear staplers from June 2012 to June 2013 at Department of General Surgery,Lishui Central Hospital.Results The mean operation time were (2.6 ± 0.4) h,TLDG with deltashaped anastomosis was successfully carried out in all the patients except for 1 case who was converted to open surgery.There was no serious complication and no death in this series.The postoperative pain in TLDG was less than laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy.Conclusions Totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and intracorporeal gastroduodenostomy using endoscopic linear staplers is a new method with high safety and feasibility.
