Technical Feasibility of Enterotomy Closure with Knotless Barbed Suture Material (V-Loc 180) in Esophagojejunostomy Using Linear Stapler during Totally Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

Technical Feasibility of Enterotomy Closure with Knotless Barbed Suture Material (V-Loc 180) in Esophagojejunostomy Using Linear Stapler during Totally Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

Purpose: Intra-corporeal esophagojejunostomy (EJ) using a linear stapler creates a stapler entry hole that requires secure closure during the totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) procedure for gastric cancer. Since a standard method has not been established yet, the feasibility of using V-l...
