Short-term outcomes and quality of life of esophagogastrostomy versus the double-tract reconstruction after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy

Our findings suggest that it is possible for skilled surgeons to achieve minimal blood loss volume without significantly increasing operation duration when performing DRT, which does not raise risk. In terms of anti-reflux, postoperative QoL and BMI maintenance, 1-year postoperative follow-up outcomes reveal the DTR is superior to EG, which deserve further research and promotion.
