Full robot-assisted gastrectomy with intracorporeal robot-sewn anastomosis produces satisfying outcomes

Figure 6 Total gastrectomy with esophagojejunostomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. A-E: The small bowel which is 15-20 cm away from the Treitz was brought up just below the dissociated esophagus for antecolic end-to-side anastomosis. Robotic anastomosis for esophagojejunostomy was performed in the same manner; F: The proximal jejunum 5 cm away from the esophagojejunal anastomotic stoma is transected by a 45-mm cartridge endostapler; G-I: The side-to-side jejunojejunostomy and jejunal stump were achieved using the hand-sewn technique in the same manner; J: Jejunal stump was achieved using the hand-sewn technique in the same manner; K, L: Sometimes, the esophagus was not transected until the posterior wall suturing of the esophagojejunostomy was finished.
