V-OG01 Minimally invasive oesophagectomy: Technique of linear stapled anastomosis

Abstract Background Several anastomotic techniques have been described when performing an oesophagectomy. Each technique has its own merits and drawbacks. The stapled side to creates a widely patent anastomosis with low stricture rate. Methods This video highlights the adopted developed over last 5 years. There are several key steps that need be adhered to, create reliable, robust reproducible anastomosis. These include orientation of oesophagus during transection, use mucosal retaining sutures, 34 bougie for oesophagotomy correct retraction conduit Results was successfully performed without complications. Check endoscopy revealed secure join. typically now takes 15–18 minutes. At end procedure, cap buried under pleura wrapped in omental fat. patient discharged on day 10 residue diet. Conclusions It proved reliable rate very leak is easier perform than total hand sewn permits visualisation luminal prior
