Robotic total gastrectomy with π-shaped esophagojejunostomy using a linear stapler as a novel technique

Objective To evaluate the intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes of a novel robotic intracorporeal π-shaped esophagojejunostomy (EJS) after D2 total gastrectomy (TG) using the Da Vinci robotic surgical system for intracorporeal anastomosis after TG.
