This study presents a modified technique for laparoscopically assisted total gastrectomy with jejunal pouch interposition (LATG/JPI). The modified LATG/JPI procedure is shown to be feasible, safe, and effective for gastric cancer patients.

Area of Science:

Surgical Oncology
Gastroenterology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

Jejunal pouch interposition (JPI) is a recognized gastric replacement method post-total gastrectomy.
Laparoscopically assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) combined with JPI presents technical challenges.
Existing methods lack applicability for LATG due to complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a modified LATG/JPI technique.
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the modified LATG/JPI.
To assess early postoperative functional outcomes of LATG/JPI.

Main Methods:

A 5-port technique was employed for LATG/JPI in five patients with early gastric cancer.
Gastric resection was completed laparoscopically, followed by extracorporeal creation of a 12-cm jejunal pouch.

Laparoscopic monitoring was used for stapled pouch-esophagostomy, with the remainder performed under direct vision.

Main Results:

All five LATG/JPI procedures were completed laparoscopically without complications.
Mean operative time was 407 minutes with an average blood loss of 279 ml.
Patients experienced rapid recovery, and dual scintigraphy confirmed satisfactory jejunal pouch function.

Conclusions:

The modified LATG/JPI technique is feasible and safe.
Technical modifications enhance the applicability of JPI in LATG.
This approach offers a potentially effective option for improving quality of life after total gastrectomy.
