Popis: Background. To clarify the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) with our novel reconstruction methods, clinical outcomes of this LPG were evaluated and compared to those of LPG with our conventional method. Methods. Novel method is a reconstruction with a long and narrow gastric tube with widening of the proximal side of the gastric tube created by linear stapler. Esophagogastrostomy is performed by direct anastomosis with overlap method between the posterior wall of the esophagus and anterior wall of the gastric tube using a linear stapler. In conventional method, direct anastomosis between the esophagus and a gastric tube by a circular stapler was performed. Short- and long-term outcomes of a novel method were compared with those of conventional method. Results. A total of 39 patients whom LPG was performed were enrolled in this retrospective study. The amount of blood loss in the Novel method group (n=30) was significantly less than those in the Conventional method group (n=9) (40 vs. 110 ml, pConclusions. LPG with novel reconstruction method using long and narrow cobra- head-shaped gastric tube can be easily performed, and may be feasible for the treatment of gastric cancer in the upper third of the stomach.
