Short-Term Outcomes of Intracorporeal Delta-Shaped Gastroduodenostomy Versus Extracorporeal Gastroduodenostomy after Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer.

Conclusion: The surgical safety of ICBI was similar to that of ECBI. Although the chosen anastomotic technique was not a risk factor for surgical complications, ECBI was more vulnerable to surgical complications than ICBI in patients with a high BMI (≥30). PMID: 30944764 [PubMed]
