Core Tip
Core Tip: This manuscript provides a comprehensive analysis of two distinct anastomosis techniques and their effects on postoperative gastroesophageal reflux (GER), an issue of paramount importance in the surgical management of gastric cancer. Our study embarked on a meticulous comparative evaluation between forearm anastomosis and posterior wall anastomosis techniques, focusing on their efficacy in mitigating GER symptoms and their impact on the gastrointestinal barrier function and nutritional status of the patient’s post-proximal gastrectomy. Through rigorous assessment and detailed analysis, our findings illuminate the superior benefits of the Forearm Anastomosis technique, not only in reducing GER symptoms but also in preserving gastrointestinal health.
