Modified π-shaped Esophagojejunostomy in Totally Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy: a Report of 40 Consecutive Cases From a Single Center

Abstract Background: Intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy remains a challenging technique in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) without established standard anastomosis method. π-shaped esophagojejunostomy in TLTG was reported to be safe and feasible. Therefore, this study aimed to depict our modified π-shaped esophagojejunostomy in TLTG and evaluate its short-term surgical outcomes.Methods: From April 2018 to October 2019, 40 patients with gastric cancer who underwent TLTG by the same surgeon with modified π-shaped esophagojejunostomy were enrolled. Clinicopathologic data including age, gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, tumor size, tumor location, depth of tumor invasion, number of harvested lymph nodes, nodal metastasis and TNM stage, operative time, estimated blood loss, time to resume diet, postoperative hospital stays, complication, and mortality were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results: The mean operative time and estimated blood loss were 264.6 ± 56.9 min and 68.5 ± 53.3 mL, respectively. Postoperative flatus occurred at 4.6 ± 1.7 days. The mean time to resume diet was 7.4 ± 1.7 days postoperatively. One patient was diagnosed with anastomotic leakage and managed with conservative therapy. Pleural effusion, occurring in 4 (10%) patients, was the most common complication. One patient experienced intra-abdominal bleeding requiring reoperation. Other complications were atrial fibrillation and wound infection. No mortality occurred during the 6-month follow-up.Conclusions: Modified π-shaped esophagojejunostomy is a safe and feasible method for intracorporeal anastomosis in TLTG, which showed favorable surgical outcomes.

Background: The technique of esophagojejunostomy in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy is difficult and had a high frequency of incidents during surgery and anastomotic leakage. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the technique of functional end-to-end esophagojejunostomy by linear stapler without previous resection of the esophagus and jejunum in the totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection in the treatment of gastric cancer.Methods: A prospective observational study on patients received technique of functional end-to-end esophagojejunostomy by linear stapler without previous resection of esophagus and jejunum between July 2017 to July 2020.Results: We included 70 patients with a mean age of 62.5. There were 80% of patients having tubular adenocarcinoma and papillary adenocarcinoma, 11.4% of patients having tumors in the upper third of the stomach, and 81.4% of patients having tumors in the middle of the stomach. There were 4.2% of cases having incidents during the surgery and 2.8% of cases having complications after the surgery. No anastomotic leakage or death was observed after the surgery. The mean lymph node was 23, and the mean metastatic lymph node was 2.7. The operation time was 203.8 minutes. The mean hospital stay was 8.0 days. The one year survival after the surgery was 97.9%, and two year survival was 93.1%. The mean survival was 35.3 months.Conclusions: TLTG with D2 lymph node dissection using functional end-to-end esophagojejunostomy by linear stapler without previous resection of esophagus and jejunum was safe and effective in gastric cancer treatment.

Background: Though laparoscopic distal gastrectomy has become a standard procedure for treatment of gastric cancer, laparoscopic total gastrectomy has not been widely accepted as it requires more dexterity and lack of evidence about its feasibility and safety. Methods: Here retrospectively we review a series of 12 cases of gastric cancer undergone laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D1 or D2 lymphadenectomy over a period of 7 years at a tertiary care hospital. The patient demographic characteristics were reviewed and the outcomes after surgery was analyzed in terms of extent of lymphadenectomy, mean operative time, mean intraoperative blood loss median number of lymph nodes harvested, median time for postoperative ambulation, median time for postoperative oral feeding, median time of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications and mortality. Results: All patients had total gastrectomy entirely through laparoscopic method. Mean operative time was 282 minutes, mean intraoperative blood loss was 120 ml, median time for ambulation and oral feeding was 3 days and 6 days respectively. Median time of hospital stay was 16 days and 2 patients had complications as pancreatic fistula and port site abscess. No mortality was observed. Conclusion: With zero mortality and accepted rate of complications, laparoscopic total gastrectomy appears to be technically feasible and safe for management of gastric cancer. But more studies have to be conducted with comparison to other standard gastrectomies and long term follow up to be done to establish its standardized application.
