This study aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and anti-reflux efficacy of robotic-assisted right-sided overlap single-flap valvuloplasty in proximal gastrectomy.
Descriptive case series involving 20 patients undergoing robotic-assisted proximal gastrectomy with ROSF for Siewert II/III tumors.
Operative metrics, complications, reflux severity, and follow-up data were analyzed using appropriate classifications.
Outcomes were assessed including the GERD scale and Clavien-Dindo classification.
All procedures were completed robotically without the need for conversion.
Only one case of anastomotic stricture (5.0%) was noted, resolved with dilation; no other major complications occurred.
GERD scores showed no significant worsening postoperatively (preoperative 2.4 ± 1.0 vs. postoperative 2.7 ± 0.6; P = 0.148).
