Reducing anastomotic complications with endoscopy in laparoscopic total gastrectomy

Figure 3 Management of esophagojejunal anastomotic full-thickness tearing. A: Side-to-side small intestinal anastomosis for jejunal pouch creation was performed extracorporeally; B: The circular stapler’s center rod emerged from the pouch apex extracorporeally; C: Esophagojejunostomy was completed laparoscopically; D: The common entry hole was closed with continuous sutures; E: Laparoscopic reinforcement of the suture line was performed with a continuous seromuscular suture.
