The use of laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy has been gradually spreading and it has become one of the standard treatment options for early gastric cancer in Japan. But anastomotic problems are still frequent with this procedure, because of its technical difficulty. We have developed a simple, safe, and speedy Roux-en-Y anastomosis for use in laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy. Here, we describe our technique and the short-term results.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the current practices in the diagnosis and surgical management of anorectal malformations (ARMs) in female patients in Japan, specifically focusing on anovestibular fistula (AVF), rectovaginal fistula (RVF), and persistent cloaca (PC).
Methods: An anonymous online survey was conducted with 61 institutional members of the Japanese Study Group for Anorectal Anomalies.
Results: Sixty-one institutions (100%) completed the survey.

Article Synopsis
- A randomized controlled trial compared totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) and laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) for early gastric cancer in 442 patients.
- Both surgical methods showed similar rates of postoperative complications and 90-day mortality.
- However, TLDG resulted in lower early postoperative pain and improved quality of life in specific areas for patients with a BMI of 25 or higher compared to LADG.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer and fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy is the standard treatment for both early and locally advanced GC. Laparoscopic surgery has been widely used for decades for the treatment of benign diseases, such as cholecystectomy and appendectomy.
