Background: The triangulating stapling technique is one of the reconstruction methods used that provides favorable surgical outcomes in several areas of the digestive tract. However, the results in the cervical esophagogastric anastomosis are not well documented.
Methods: Using a prospectively maintained comprehensive database, we reviewed the surgical results of 160 consecutive patients who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy followed by cervical triangulating stapling esophagogastrostomy during 2 periods from May 2002 to May 2012 so as to determine the efficacy of the triangulating stapling technique using 2 different types of stapling devices.
Results: The rates of anastomotic leakage and stricture in this series were low (1% and 15%, respectively). The rate of anastomotic stricture was significantly reduced when a linear stapler with a cutting knife was used (9%). A logistic regression analysis showed a reduction of anastomotic stricture to be significantly associated with the use of only a linear stapler with a cutting knife.
Conclusion: Cervical esophagogastric anastomosis by the triangulating stapling technique is safe and feasible. We consider a linear stapling device equipped with a cutting knife to be more suitable for performing the triangulating stapling technique.

Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) for colorectal cancer utilizes transvaginal access for bowel mobilization, vascular pedicle ligation, oncological resection, and bowel anastomosis, along with subsequent transvaginal natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE), reducing or eliminating the need for transabdominal access. In this report, we describe the technique of vNOTES right hemicolectomy for cecal cancer, with intracorporeal anastomosis and transvaginal NOSE, including a step-by-step operative video. The patient was a 59-year-old Chinese female (body mass index 32.

In this Letter, a Ku-band three-dimensional location system using an L-shaped array of Rydberg atomic receivers is theoretically proposed and experimentally demonstrated, and the proof of principle results show excellent consistency between the location-derived and the setting coordinates. The novel L-shaped array, together with the triangulation method, gives both phase difference and angle of arrival, achieving location of the horn for a signal microwave field in three-dimensional space.

Introduction: The optimal choice of anastomotic techniques for cervical esophagogastric anastomosis in esophagectomy remains unclear.
Methods: An electronic literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science (data up to April 2022) was conducted and screened to compare hand sewn (HS), circular stapling (CS), side-to-side linear stapling (LS), and triangulating stapling (TS) for cervical esophagogastric anastomosis. Anastomotic leak, pulmonary complications, anastomotic stricture, and reflux esophagitis of the 4 anastomotic techniques were evaluated using a Bayesian network meta-analysis by R.

The standard of care for esophageal malignancies has evolved over the years from open transthoracic esophagectomy to a minimally invasive approach due to the reduction in surgical trauma and significant impact on postoperative outcomes. Minimally invasive approaches include video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. These minimally invasive approaches have an attendant learning curve that early-career surgeons are required to negotiate before achieving proficiency in the procedure.
