Objective: To explore the techniques of esophagogastrostomy or esophagojejunostomy in the mediastinum through the abdomen and hiatus after extended proximal gastrectomy or total gastrectomy.
Methods: From May 2010 to January 2012, 15 patients with esophagogastric junction carcinoma underwent open transhiatal extended gastrostomy or total gastrectomy. After full mobilization, the anvil was reversely introduced into the esophagus and the esophagus was transected with curved stapler. The rod of the anvil was then pulled out with a stitch to complete esophagogastrostomy after proximal gastrectomy(n=9) or esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy(n=6).
Results: The anastomosis was successfully performed in all the patients. The mean operation time was(185.5±13.1) min. The mean operation time for anastomosis was(42.0±8.6) min. The mean estimated blood loss was (106.7±34.9) ml. The proximal resection margin was(4.4±1.2) cm. All the margins were negative for residual cancer. There was no postoperative death or fistula. During the follow up, there was one case of anastomotic stenosis which was successfully managed by endoscopic balloon dilatation.
Conclusions: Esophagogastrostomy or esophagojejunostomy can be safely performed with double stapling technique including reverse anvil introduction and curved stapling transection of the esophagus. It is an ideal technique for anastomosis after extended gastrectomy for esophagogastric junction carcinoma.

Article Synopsis
- Surgical resection is a key part of treating stomach and esophagus cancers, but it can lead to serious issues like leakage when the body is put back together.
- *Detecting these leaks quickly using methods like CT scans and endoscopy is really important for successful treatment.
- *New endoscopic methods, especially the endoscopic vacuum therapy, have greatly improved how doctors handle these leaks, making recovery outcomes much better.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of intraoperative assessment of anastomotic blood supply in patients undergoing esophagojejunostomy or esophagogastrostomy for gastric cancer using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging (IGFI).
Materials And Methods: From January 2019 to October 2021, we conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who had undergone laparoscopic gastrectomy for the treatment of gastric cancer. The patients were consecutively enrolled and categorized into two study groups: the Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging (IGFI) group consisting of 86 patients, and the control group comprising 92 patients.
Postoperative Outcomes and Quality of Life After Left Thoracoabdominal Esophagogastrectomy: Contrasting Esophagogastrostomy with Esophagojejunostomy.

Background: Following left thoracoabdominal (LTA) esophagogastrectomy, gastrointestinal continuity can be re-established via esophagogastrostomy or esophagojejunostomy. We explored how the method of reconstruction impacted postoperative outcomes and quality of life (QoL).
Methods: From January 2007 to January 2022, patients undergoing LTA were identified from a single center's prospectively maintained database.

Function-preserving procedures to maintain postoperative quality of life are an important aspect of treatment for early gastric cancer. Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with a small remnant stomach, namely laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy (LsTG), are alternative function-preserving procedures for laparoscopic total gastrectomy of early proximal gastric cancer. In LPG, esophagogastrostomy with techniques to prevent reflux and double-tract and jejunal interposition including esophagojejunostomy is usually chosen for reconstruction.
