Abstract:
To prevent stapled stenosis after laparoscopic local gastric resection by using autosuturing devices, we developed a technique for laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy with intracorporeal hand-sewn anastomosis. We describe this procedure and present two case reports. The intracorporeal hand-sewn anastomotic technique is an important advance in the field of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery.
