The aim is to compare the short-term outcomes of robot-assisted double-flap esophagogastrostomy with side-overlap reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy.
Retrospective review of 24 patients who underwent robot-assisted proximal gastrectomy between January 2020 and July 2024.
Comparison of outcomes between 14 patients with VEG-SO and 10 with VEG-DFT.
Evaluation of operative time, blood loss, complications, reflux, and body weight changes.
No significant differences in operative time, blood loss, or complications between VEG-SO and VEG-DFT groups.
Reflux esophagitis was observed in 50.0% of SO patients vs. 10.0% of DFT patients (P = 0.031).
Body weight loss at 6 months was greater in the DFT group (P = 0.034), but lab-based nutritional indices did not differ.
