A Case Report on Gastric Remnant Intussusception.

Emergency Medicine, Kettering Health Network, Dayton, USA.

Published: January 2022

We present a case of intussusception of a gastric remnant in a patient years after undergoing a Billroth II procedure that was treated with esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Although rare in adults, intussusception has been documented with increasing frequency in adult patients who have undergone Billroth II, mini-gastric bypass, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Timely management can decrease damage due to ischemia.

Introduction: Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is the standard treatment for gastric cancer, during which the laparoscopic Billroth I anastomosis technique, also known as the delta-shaped anastomosis (DA), is widely performed. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in short- and long-term symptoms between DA and traditional circular anastomosis (CA) techniques.

Methods: We retrospectively compared DA and CA procedures in patients undergoing LDG and subsequent reconstruction using the Billroth I method at the Kanagawa Cancer Center from 2017 to 2022.

Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reversal might be necessary to alleviate refractory surgical or nutritional complications, such as postprandial hypoglycemia, malnutrition, marginal ulceration, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, or excessive weight loss. The surgical technique of RYGB reversal is not standardized; potential strategies include the following: (1) gastro-gastrostomy: hand-sewn technique, linear stapler, circular stapler; (2) handling of the Roux limb: reconnection or resection (if remaining intestinal length ≥ 4 m).

Case Presentation: We demonstrate the surgical technique of a laparoscopic reversal of RYGB with hand-sewn gastro-gastrostomy and resection of the alimentary limb with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life.

Electronic address:

Background: Duodenal stump leakage is one of the most critical complications following gastrectomy surgery, with a high mortality rate. The present study aimed to establish a predictive model based on machine learning for forecasting the occurrence of duodenal stump leakage in patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Materials And Methods: The present study included the data of 4,070 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who received laparoscopic gastrectomy.

Surgical Technique and Safety of Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer with Duodenal Invasion, Including Minimally Invasive Approach.

Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe University, 7-5-2, Kusunoki-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo, 650-0017, Japan. Electronic address:

Background: Gastrectomy for gastric cancer with duodenal invasion poses an oncological (high positive rate of resection line infiltration) and a surgical (high risk of duodenal fistula) challenge. The purpose of this study was to validate the safety of gastrectomy for gastric cancer with duodenal invasion.

Methods: We included 82 patients with distal gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy and reconstruction via the Bill-II or R-Y procedure at Kobe University Hospital between 2011 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.

Performing a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients having undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNYGB) poses a significant surgical challenge. We present a patient with a history of RNYGB and endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) procedure who underwent a successful PD. This 77-year-old female with history of open RNYBG presented with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
