Intracorporeal modified delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy during 2-port distal gastrectomy: technical aspects and short-term outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Surgeons have become increasingly interested in reduced-port gastrectomy to minimize trauma while maintaining oncologic safety. Although gastroduodenostomy has the benefits of better nutritional outcomes and fewer postoperative complications than other types of reconstruction, gastroduodenostomy is not a preferred option for reduced-port distal gastrectomy because of technical difficulties. In this study, we describe our intracorporeal modified delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy technique, which is easily applicable during 2-port distal gastrectomy.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed our database of 30 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent 2-port distal gastrectomy with intracorporeal modified delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy from October 2016 to May 20
