A systematic review of laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer

Conclusions During LTG, the method used for esophagojejunostomy is important for surgical reliability and to reduce postoperative complications. There has been rapid development of new techniques from the level of esophagojejunostomy through a small skin incision to the high level of intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy using various techniques. A nationwide prospective phase II study is urgently needed to establish the value of LTG.
