Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is still limited because intracorporeal oesophagojejunostomy is technically demanding and difficult in laparoscopic gastrectomy. Circular-stapled anastomosis is considered the "gold standard" method for oesophagojejunostomy in open total gastrectomy. A purse-string suture instrument is used to create a purse-string suture along the distal oesophagus as a standard technique for classic circular-stapled oesophagojejunostomy in the open total gastrectomy. However, a simple and optimal laparoscopic purse-string suture device or instrument with an appropriate and optimal tube in the abdomen remains to be developed as a standard procedure for simple intracorporeal oesophagojejunostomy.
Study design: Between May 2023 and October 2023, a new laparoscopic purse-string suture clamp (Lap-PSC) and multi-functional seal cap (MSC) were applied to obtain a simple intracorporeal circular-stapled oesophagojejunostomy after laparoscopic total gastrectomy in 21 patients with gastric cancer in our hospital. The surgical details and postoperative outcomes were analyzed to evaluate this method.
Results: The mean operation time was 203.8 ± 39.1 min. The mean time for the purse-string suture was 6.6 ± 2.8 min. An average of 13 min was required for purse-string creation and anvil placement. Tumor-free margins were obtained in 21 patients, with a median proximal margin length of 2 cm (range, 1.5-5 cm). Four postoperative complications occurred in this study. There was no mortality. During the median follow-up periods of 11 months, no anastomosis-related complications were observed.
Conclusions: The standardized single-stapling end-to-side oesophagojejunostomy in open surgery can be easily and safely performed during LTG using both Lap-PSC and MSC. The procedure using Lap-PSC with MSC may be considered as a better procedure to option in LTG.
期刊介绍:
Langenbeck''s Archives of Surgery aims to publish the best results in the field of clinical surgery and basic surgical research. The main focus is on providing the highest level of clinical research and clinically relevant basic research. The journal, published exclusively in English, will provide an international discussion forum for the controlled results of clinical surgery. The majority of published contributions will be original articles reporting on clinical data from general and visceral surgery, while endocrine surgery will also be covered. Papers on basic surgical principles from the fields of traumatology, vascular and thoracic surgery are also welcome. Evidence-based medicine is an important criterion for the acceptance of papers.
