RESUMEN
Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) can be selected for the treatment of early upper gastric carcinoma, but gastroesophageal reflux after operation would seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Esophagogastric anastomosis with double flap technique is a digestive tract reconstruction method using the anastomosis between the esophagus and the anterior wall of the stomach. Compared with other digestive tract reconstruction methods, esophagogastric anastomosis with double flap technique can maintain the postoperative body mass of patients in good condition, improve the nutritional status and the long-term quality of life of patients. Esophagogastric anasto-mosis with double flap technique has good anti reflux effects and retain the possibility of endoscopic examination and treatment. By reviewing literatures at home and abroad, and combined with clinical experiences, the authors discuss current status and digestive tract reconstruction methods of LPG, and deeply investigate the application prospect of esophagogastric anastomosis with double flap technique.
