Single Incision Plus One Port Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy with Double Channel Anastomosis for Gastric Cancer Treatment.

Abstract

Single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-channel anastomosis (SILT-DT) is a minimally invasive surgical approach for treating proximal gastric cancer. This technique includes comprehensive laparoscopic resection of the proximal stomach, lymph node dissection, and double-tract anastomosis. By integrating single-port laparoscopic surgery with an auxiliary operating hole, SILT-DT reduces procedural difficulty while facilitating the placement of an abdominal drainage tube. Compared to the traditional five-port laparoscopic gastrectomy, SILT-DT requires fewer ports and results in shorter incision lengths, contributing to reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery. A thorough preoperative evaluation was conducted to ensure procedural success, with factors such as tumor size, stage, location, and patient BMI carefully considered. This comprehensive assessment allowed for optimal patient selection and surgical planning. Postoperative follow-up demonstrated no significant complications, underscoring the safety and efficacy of SILT-DT. This innovative technique offers a promising minimally invasive alternative for managing proximal gastric cancer while maintaining excellent clinical outcomes.
