Transoral Technique for Gastrojejunostomy in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGBP) Can Accelerate Learning Curve and Reduce Cost
2010
Background
The stapled gastrojejunostomy of the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) can be created by linear and circular stapling techniques. In the circular-stapled technique, the anvil of the stapler can be introduced into the gastric pouch transabdominally or pulled down the esophagus (transorally) by attachment to a modified gastric tube. The purpose of this study is to determine if the transoral technique to introduce the anvil will reduce operative time and cost compared with the transabdominal technique, which requires creating a new gastrotomy to insert the anvil and followed by its closure.
