Abstract
A robotic approach with radical lymph node dissection for gastric cancers is a safe and effective surgical procedure. However, there are still only a few studies in the reconstruction procedure after gastrectomy and many aspects of the use of the robotic surgical system remain controversial. In Roux-en-Y reconstruction, most institutions are adapted for reconstruction using small laparotomy due to the complicated procedure. We, therefore, developed a new and easy procedure for full robotic Roux-en-Y reconstruction after robotic gastrectomy. We named this procedure “loop reconstruction technique”. This article including video shows our loop reconstruction technique with an intracorporeal robot-sewn anastomosis after robotic gastrectomy.
