Abstract

Here, we present our first case of totally laparoscopic D2 radical distal gastrectomy using Billroth II anastomosis and evaluate its effectiveness in terms of minimal invasiveness, technical feasibility and safety for the resection of early gastric cancer. In the present case, only laparoscopic linear staplers were used for intracorporeal anastomosis. The time taken was 180 min, the anastomotic time was 15 min, the number of staples used was five, and the estimated blood loss was 30 ml. The first flatus was observed at 3 days, and a liquid diet was started at 6 days. The postoperative hospital stay was 8 days. No postoperative complications were noted with our case. In conclusion, totally laparoscopic Billroth II anastomosis using laparoscopic linear staplers for early gastric cancer is considered to be safe and feasible.
