Introduction: Total gastrectomy is a surgery with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality, being considered the treatment of choice in proximal gastric cancer. First described in 1980, our group reported and standardized totally laparoscopic 95% gastrectomy in 2014. This technique aims to reduce the complications of total gastrectomy while maintaining oncological radicality. We present the initial results from a cohort of consecutive cases after performing the technique for 4 years at 2 hospital centers.
Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out in 67 patients with laparoscopic 95% gastrectomy between 2014 and 2017. The main objective has been to detect complications (Clavien Dindo> IIIa), focusing on anastomotic leaks as the most important. The secondary objective was to assess the quality of oncological surgery.
Results: Sixty-seven consecutive patients were included, in whom 95% totally laparoscopic gastrectomy was performed. There was no case of anastomotic leak. Two patients (2.98%) had one or more Clavien Dindo complications equal to or greater than IIIa. The total hospital stay was 6 (3-13) days. R0 radical resection was performed in all patients.
Conclusions: 95% gastrectomy allows selected patients to meet the oncological standards of resection in proximal gastric cancer in a reproducible and safe manner, reducing perioperative risks such as anastomotic leakage. It is a non-comparative observational prospective study, so more studies are needed to assess the standardization of the technique.

Background: The long-term follow-up studies investigating the risk of anemia and iron deficiency following bariatric procedures are scarce. This study aimed to determine the influence of body weight reduction and type of bariatric surgery on iron metabolism parameters.
Methods: We included 138 consecutive patients who underwent bariatric surgery (120 underwent sleeve gastrectomy and 18 underwent other types of bariatric surgery) between 2010 and 2016.

: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is a well-established treatment for severe obesity, yet its effects in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are not well understood. MBS in this population presents unique challenges, including the potential for exacerbating inflammatory disease activity and causing complications such as malnutrition and medication malabsorption. This study aims to assess the long-term outcomes of MBS in IBD patients, focusing on both metabolic outcomes and its impact on the course of IBD.

Background: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with Billroth I (B-I) reconstruction is frequently performed for gastric cancer. However, the difference between the circular stapler technique (CS) and delta-shaped anastomosis (DA) remains unclear, especially regarding the postoperative endoscopic physiological findings.
Methods: Three hundred and one patients including 150 CS patients and 151 DA patients during LADG with B-I reconstruction between 2013 and 2019 at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center were chosen as study subjects.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (P-HIPEC) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC) after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. Additionally, it explores how the frequency and timing of P-HIPEC influence treatment outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 227 patients with locally AGC who underwent laparoscopic surgery at Maoming People's Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022.
