Overview

Observational analysis demonstrates reduced GERD symptoms in EGJ cancer patients, highlighting the benefits of the double-flap technique.

Key Points

  • The double-flap technique effectively prevents gastroesophageal reflux disease after surgery.
  • None of the patients exhibited reflux esophagitis symptoms post-operation in this analysis.
  • Surgical intervention included a mean operation time of 367.5 minutes with minimal blood loss.
  • A total of 15 patients underwent this promising reconstruction method after Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy.
