A retrospective study of provisional outcomes of intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy versus extracorporeal anastomosis during laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. a single -center.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) treatment is increasingly undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) procedures. However, we conducted this research to evaluate postoperative outcomes, particularly surgical complications associated with intracorporeal and extracorporeal esophagojejunostomies using linear or circular stapling techniques following LTG for GC treatment. We aimed to compare short-term postoperative outcomes, such as surgical complications and anastomotic outcomes, between the two groups. Method From January 2020 to August 2022, we conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 160 consecutive patients diagnosed with GC who received either IEJ (n = 35) or EEJ (n = 125) during LTG. We utilized the Mann-Whitney U test to ascertain the statistical significance between the two groups. Fo
