Uncut Roux-en-Y reconstruction after totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for early stage gastric cancer
Abstract
Background: Roux Stasis Syndrome is a well-known complication after Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Uncut Roux-en-Y technique, would preserve unidirectional intestinal myoelectrical activity and diminish Roux Stasis Syndrome.
Methods: A 61 years old woman with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of antrum who was diagnosed by gastroscopy and histological test, underwent totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) with D2 lymph node dissection and uncut Roux-en-Y reconstruction (URYR).
Results: The length of operation was 190 min with bleeding of about 40 mL. The patient recovers well postoperation and discharged from hospital on the 7th day.
Conclusions: TLDG with intracorporeal uncut Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomies using laparoscopic linear staplers was safe and feasible with minimal invasiveness.
