Comparison of double-flap and OrVil techniques of laparoscopy-assisted proximal gastrectomy in preventing gastroesophageal reflux: a retrospective cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite its longer operative time and still relatively high anastomotic stricture rate, the double-flap technique would be better than the OrVil technique in terms of preventing gastroesophageal reflux in patients who underwent LAPG with esophagogastrostomy.
