The safety and feasibility of intra-corporeal gastroduodenostomy using a self-pulling and latter transected method (Delta SPLT) in totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy

摘要

Background and Objectives In 2016, the self-pulling and latter transection method (named "Delta SPLT"), a modified delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy (DA) technique for totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, was described. Delta SPLT reduced the technical difficulty of the surgery and the quantity of cartridges required with a manageable initial safety profile. Here, the safety and feasibility of this technique are analyzed at 1 year's follow-up.
