Background: Total laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) for gastric cancer, especially with overlap esophagojejunostomy, has been verified that it has advantages of minimally invasion, less intraoperative bleeding, and faster recovery. Meanwhile, early oral feeding (EOF) after the operation has been demonstrated to significantly promote early rehabilitation in patients, particularly with distal gastrectomy. However, due to the limited application of TLTG, there is few related research proving whether it is credible or safe to adopt EOF after TLTG (overlap esophagojejunostomy). So, it is urgent to start a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trials to supply high level evidence.
Methods/design: This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial with 200 patients (100 in each group). These eligible participants are randomly allocated into two different groups, including EOF group and delay oral feeding (DOF) group after TLTG (overlap esophagojejunostomy). Anastomotic leakage will be carefully observed and recorded as the primary endpoints; the period of the first defecation and exhaust, postoperative length of stay and hospitalization expenses will be recorded as secondary endpoints to ascertain the feasibility and safety of adopting EOF after TLTG (overlap esophagojejunostomy).
Discussion: Recently, the adoption of TLTG was limited due to its difficult anastomotic procedure, especially esophagojejunostomy. With the innovation and improvement of operating techniques, overlap esophagojejunostomy with linear staplers simplified the anastomotic steps and reduced operational difficulties after TLTG. Meanwhile, EOF had received increasing attention from surgical clinicians as a nutrition part of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), which had shown better results in patients after distal gastrectomy. Considering the above factors, we implemented EOF protocol to evaluate the feasibility and safety of adopting EOF after TLTG (overlap esophagojejunostomy), which provided additional evidence for the development of clinical nutrition guidelines.

Background: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of TLTG with the overlap technique to LATG in patients with advanced Siewert III Esophagogastric Junction Cancer and upper and middle third gastric cancer.
Methods: This single-center RCT enrolled 292 patients with the mentioned cancers, randomly assigned to TLTG overlap (n=146) or LATG (n=146) groups. Data on demographics, pathology, intraoperative variables, postoperative complications, recovery parameters, and 3-year survival were collected.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how intraesophageal pressure impacts quality of life in patients who had total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y anastomosis, using high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) on 12 participants post-surgery.
- - Most patients exhibited normal esophageal motility, and factors like integrated relaxation pressure and lower esophageal sphincter residual pressure correlated with specific symptoms, such as diarrhea and indigestion.
- - The findings suggest that HRIM is a valuable tool for assessing esophageal function and its effects on quality of life following total gastrectomy.

Background: Laparoscopic total gastrectomy plus lymph node dissection is an effective treatment method for patients with gastric cancer. With the development and popularization of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, surgeons have become more skilled in laparoscopic techniques. Totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) has been developed; however, digestive tract reconstruction remains difficult, especially with anastomosis of the esophagus and jejunum.

Background: This study presented an innovative technique in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) for overlap esophagojejunostomy (E-J), termed self-pulling and latter transection (SPLT) (overlap SPLT). It evaluated the effectiveness and short-term outcomes of this novel method through a comparative analysis with the established functional end-to-end (FETE) E-J incorporating SPLT.
Methods: From September 2018 to September 2023, this study enrolled 68 patients with gastric cancer who underwent TLTG with overlap SPLT anastomosis and 120 patients who underwent TLTG with FETE SPLT anastomosis.
