[Robot-assisted Total Gastrectomy with D2 Lymphadenectomy and Intracorporal Reconstruction].

Robot-assisted total gastrectomy for gastric cancer is a demanding operation that is increasingly being performed, not only in Asia but also in specialised centres in Europe. The minimally invasive resection - and above all the lymphadenectomy and the minimally invasive intracorporal reconstruction by oesophagojejunostomy - are technically demanding surgical steps. These techniques are performed internationally in different variations, but have not yet been well standardised. In the video presented, we show the DaVinci Xi-assisted minimally invasive technique of total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and intracorporal reconstruction using side-to-side oesophagojejunostomy with linear stapling.
