A case series of 10 patients undergone linear cutter/stapler guiding device-led overlapped esophagojejunostomy: a preliminary study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In laparoscopic total gastrectomy with overlap esophagojejunostomy (EJS), esophageal 'false track' is easily formed during EJS. In this study, a linear cutter/stapler guiding device (LCSGD) was used in EJS, so that the linear cutting stapler can complete the technical action with high speed and high efficiency in a narrow space, while avoiding the formation of 'false passage', optimizing the quality of common opening and shortening the anastomosis time. The LCSGD is safe and feasible in laparoscopic total gastrectomy overlap EJS, and the clinical effect is satisfactory.

Methods

A retrospective, descriptive design was adopted. The clinical data of 10 gastric cancer patients admitted to the Third Department of Surgery of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical Universi
