Core Tip
Core tip: This paper used propensity score-matched analysis and questionnaire survey to evaluate the short-term outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in patients who underwent digestive tract reconstruction using the isoperistaltic jejunum-later-cut overlap method (IJOM) after totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) and in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y anastomosis after laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy. We found the IJOM for digestive reconstruction after TLTG is associated with reduced blood loss and less pain and dysphagia, thus improving the QoL after laparoscopic gastrectomy.
