Anti-reflux effects of a novel esophagogastric asymmetric anastomosis technique after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy

Figure 6 Gastroscope. A: The esophageal mucosa is smooth, without hyperemia and edema, with a clear capillary network; B: The valve-like structure of the anastomosis is closed in the non-inflated state; C-E: The valve-like structure of the anastomosis opens gradually in the inflated state, with good dilation and extensibility, showing a visible dentate linear-like structure; F: The reconstructed gastric base can be seen under the inverted gastroscope, which was wrapped well by the valve-like structures of the folded gastric wall mucosa at the site of the anastomosis;
