Introduction: Although Roux-en-Y reconstruction using the jejunum is generally performed after laparoscopic total gastrectomy, the postoperative function is inadequate. We designed a novel reconstruction technique using pedicled ileocolic interposition with laparoscopic anastomosis of the esophagus and ileum, and further anastomosis of the colon and duodenum. Two patients were treated with this technique.

Case Presentation: Case 1 involved a 74-year-old man with multiple gastric cancer. Case 2 involved a 77-year-old man with extensive scirrhous esophagogastric junction cancer and esophageal invasion of 2 cm. These 2 patients underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy and pedicled ileocolic interposition anastomosis. The patients were discharged without major complications.

Discussion: We anticipate that the implementation of this reconstruction method will enhance the quality of life of patients after total gastrectomy, particularly in terms of minimizing esophageal reflux and facilitating oral ingestion. To our knowledge, this is the first report of laparoscopic reconstruction with a pedicled ileocolic interposition after total gastrectomy.

Conclusion: Pedicled ileocolic interposition is characterized by the expectation of good postoperative function owing to the anti-reflux mechanism of the ileocecal valve and adequate reservoir function of the cecum and colon.

Article Synopsis
  • Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (CME) with D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer is becoming more accepted, but it's not yet standardized like other surgical procedures; this study presents 10 straightforward, reproducible steps to improve the surgery's ergonomics and vascular anatomy identification.
  • The procedure involves adopting the French position with specific port placements designed for optimal comfort and access, allowing surgeons to efficiently dissect alongside major vascular structures like the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).
  • Identifying important anatomical landmarks, specifically the ligamentum teres and SMA/superior mesenteric vein (SMV) axis, is crucial for avoiding injury during dissection, making the surgical approach both effective and safer.

Background: Colorectal cancer is a significant cause of cancer-related death in the United States with abdominoperineal resection (APR) remaining a necessary procedure for many patients. The resultant defects of this radical operation are complex and characterized by significant tissue voids. Pedicled vertical profunda artery perforator flaps (vPAP) can be used to obliterate these defects in patients receiving minimally invasive APR or when the abdominal donor site is unavailable.

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (EMZL), also known as MALT lymphoma, is an extranodal multiorgan-invasive proliferative lymphoma composed of small B cells with variable morphology. It most commonly occurs in the digestive tract, with a high prevalence in the stomach, but EMZL originating in the small intestine is rare and lacks specificity in clinical manifestations, which makes it easy to be misdiagnosed. Herein, we report a rare case of small intestinal EMZL presentation as intussusception in a 32-year-old man.

There is no optimal reconstruction after radical distal esophagectomy for cancers of the esophagogastric junction. We designed a novel reconstruction technique using pedicled ileocolic interposition with intrathoracic anastomosis between the esophagus and the elevated ileum. Two patients underwent the surgery.
