    The EEA stapler enables rapid and reliable esophagojejunostomy following total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, demonstrating good functional outcomes. This surgical stapling device simplifies the reconstruction process, leading to efficient patient recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Total gastrectomy for gastric cancer necessitates esophageal and jejunal reconstruction.
    • Esophagojejunostomy is a critical step in restoring gastrointestinal continuity.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to improve surgical outcomes and reduce complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the EEA stapling device for esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy.
    • To assess the operative time, complication rates, and functional results associated with EEA stapler use.
    • To determine the reliability of the EEA stapler in gastric cancer surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 27 esophagojejunostomy procedures using the EEA stapling device.

  • End-to-side anastomosis technique with 28 mm or 25 mm stapler cartridges.
  • Data collection on operative time, anastomosis time, complications, hospital stay, and survival.

    • Main Results:

    • Median operative time was 305 minutes; anastomosis time averaged 20 minutes.
    • Anastomotic leakage occurred in three patients (11.1%), all managed conservatively.
    • One case of esophageal tearing required manual suturing; one hospital death occurred.
    • Median hospital stay was 16 days; median survival was 11 months.

    Conclusions:

    • The EEA stapler facilitates a fast and reliable esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy.
    • The device offers good functional results for patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer.
    • EEA stapler use is associated with acceptable complication rates and positive long-term outcomes.
