Billroth-II with Braun versus Roux-en-Y reconstruction in totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Introduction: Totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) has been increasingly adopted for the treatment of gastric cancer. Both Billroth-II with Braun (B-IIB) reconstruction and Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction are commonly performed in TLDG; however, which of these reconstruction techniques is better remains unclear.

Aim: To compare the efficacy of B-IIB reconstruction and R-Y reconstruction in TLDG for gastric cancer.

CircRASSF2 facilitates the proliferation and metastasis of colorectal cancer by mediating the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by regulating the miR-195-5p/FZD4 axis.

Circular RNAs (circRNA) are a key regulator of cancer progression, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, the role of circRASSF2 in CRC remains unclear. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of circRASSF2 and miR-195-5p.

Superior Mesenteric and Inferior Mesenteric Artery Diameters in Colorectal Cancer.

Objective: To compare the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) diameters in colorectal cancer compared to control.

Study Design: Observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Taizhou Hospital, Zhejiang University, Taizhou, China, from March 2019 to June 2020.

Learning curve of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a single teaching hospital study.

Introduction: Totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) for gastric cancer has gradually gained popularity. However, the learning curve of TLDG is rarely reported.

Aim: To determine the learning curve of TLDG for gastric cancer.

Laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer in China: an overview.

Since its introduction in China in 2000, laparoscopic gastrectomy has shown classical advantages of minimally invasive surgery over open counterpart. Like all the pioneers of the technique, Chinese gastrointestinal surgeons claim that laparoscopic gastrectomy led to faster recovery, shorter hospital stay and more rapid return to daily activities respect to open gastrectomy while offering the same functional and oncological results. There has been booming interest in laparoscopic gastrectomy since 2006 in China.
