Intracorporeal Esophagojejunostomy Using a Circular or a Linear Stapler in Totally Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy: a Propensity-Matched Analysis.

Conclusions: Both circular and linear stapling techniques are feasible and safe in performing intracorporeal EJ anastomosis during LTG. The linear group had shorter operative time, but there was no difference in anastomosis complications. PMID: 31245164 [PubMed]
