ABSTRACT
@#A significant challenge after performing resection of the esophagogastric region, is the reconstruction that follows. Esophagogastrostomy is a simple and direct method to restore gastrointestinal continuity using a single anastomosis but is associated with reflux esophagitis and anastomotic stenosis. This case report presents a 29-year-old man with a bleeding gastroesophageal junction leiomyoma who underwent a proximal gastrectomy and an esophagogastrostomy reconstruction with a double H-flap technique to reduce the incidence of gastric reflux. This illustrative description of the double H-flap technique created a valve mechanism that mimicked the function of the resected sphincter and cardia. This antireflux adjunct technique is reproducible and effective in preventing gastroesophageal reflux symptoms after an esophagogastrostomy.
