Additional superdrainage reduces anastomotic fistula and stenosis after gastric tube reconstruction with cervical anastomosis for esophageal cancerCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Objective: Gastric pull-up is a common procedure to reconstruct the continuity of the upper digestive tract after esophagectomy. However, this technique sometimes causes postoperative anastomotic leakage or stricture, resulting from congestion of the ...

Laparoscopic real-time vessel navigation using indocyanine green fluorescence during laparoscopy-assisted gastric tube reconstruction: First experience [PDF]
A considerable percentage of morbidity and mortality after oesophagectomy is due to leakage of oesophagogastrostomy, which is mainly caused by ischaemia of the gastric tube.

Proximal gastrectomy with gastric tube reconstruction or jejunal interposition reconstruction in upper-third gastric cancer: which offers better short-term surgical outcomes? [PDF]
Objective Proximal gastrectomy acts as a function-preserving operation for upper-third gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term surgical outcomes between proximal gastrectomy with gastric tube reconstruction and proximal ...

Surgical outcomes of laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy for upper-third gastric cancer: esophagogastrostomy, gastric tube reconstruction, and double-tract reconstruction [PDF]
Background There is no consensus on the optimal reconstruction technique after proximal gastrectomy. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare the surgical outcomes among esophagogastrostomy (EG) anastomosis, gastric tube (GT ...

Pancreaticoduodenectomy following surgery for esophageal cancer with gastric tube reconstruction: a case report and literature review [PDF]
Background Synchronous and asynchronous multiple cancers have become more pervasive in recent years despite advances in medical technologies. However, there have been only six cases (including the present case) that underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD)

Experience with transesophageal echocardiography for mitral valve plasty in the remote stage after esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction via the retrosternal route. [PDF]
A 69-year-old male patient with mitral valve prolapse was scheduled for mitral valve plasty. Sixteen years earlier, he had undergone right open thoracotomy for esophageal cancer with subtotal esophagectomy, cervicothoraco-abdominal three-region ...

Bilateral Minithoracotomy Approach for Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in a Patient With Retrosternal Gastric Tube Reconstruction. [PDF]
Retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction after esophagectomy can make coronary artery bypass grafting technically challenging because the gastric tube often occupies the retrosternal space and may lie close to major mediastinal structures.
