An Improved Technique for Esophagojejunostomy after Total Gastrectomy with a Novel Anvil Grasping Forceps

D T i t c e t t n t c c a F i ircular stapler anastomosis has been widely used in esophgojejunostomy after total gastrectomy. Because tearing f an esophagojejunostomy can result in lethal complicaions, this anastomosis occupies an important step during he reconstruction procedure of total gastrectomy. But echnical problems associated with the procedure of the nastomosis remain because of the anatomic features round the abdominal esophagus, which is located in a eep and narrow region at the bottom of the upper abdomnal cavity. We present a new technique for esophagojejuostomy using a novel anvil grasping forceps, which has a orn head (Fig. 1).
