A newly modified esophagogastrostomy with a reliable angle of His by placing a gastric tube in the lower mediastinum in laparoscopy-assisted proximal gastrectomy

Conclusions The modified EG technique has advantages over the JI technique because of its simplicity and low incidence of residual food and bile reflux. The next step would be to explore this technique further by a prospective multi-institutional study to confirm the reproducibility of its benefits. Miniabstract: The modified EG technique has advantages over the JI technique because of its simplicity, high rate of laparoscopy use, and low incidence of gastroesophageal reflux.
