Fig. 3From: Preventive procedure for stenosis after esophagojejunostomy using a circular stapler and transorally inserted anvil (OrVil™) following laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy involving reduction of anastomotic tensionIntracorporeal esophagojejunostomy to avoid anastomotic stenosis. a During laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy, the anastomosis is performed after completely connecting the esophageal and jejunal stumps, while reducing the tension on them. b The anastomosis is similarly performed after laparoscopic total gastrectomyBack to article page
