Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Gastric surgery is indicated for conditions like intractable ulcers, obstruction, bleeding, and cancer.
  • Laparoscopic techniques offer potential benefits over open surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic gastrectomy with intracorporeal gastrojejunostomy (Billroth II) in a small patient cohort.
  • To assess short-term outcomes for various gastric pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Five patients underwent laparoscopic antrum resection with antecolic intracorporeal gastrojejunostomy (Billroth II).
  • Procedures included bilateral truncal vagotomy in two patients and Roux-en-Y in one.
  • Indications included ulcer disease, gastric outlet obstruction, bleeding, and cancer palliation.

Main Results:

  • One patient experienced postoperative gastric atony; no other complications or mortality occurred.
  • Short-term follow-up (9-34 months) showed disease control in four out of five patients.
  • One patient had recurrent ulcer symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic gastrectomy with intracorporeal gastrojejunostomy is a feasible and safe approach.
  • The technique provides effective short-term management for selected gastric conditions.
  • Further studies with larger cohorts are warranted to confirm long-term efficacy.
