Although laparoscopic techniques in gastric surgery have become an important part of upper gastrointestinal surgery, they are mainly utilized for organ preserving procedures. A standardized technique for laparoscopic gastrectomy has not yet been described in detail. The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized technique for laparoscopic gastrectomy with reconstruction by a stapled termino-lateral esophago-je-junostomy and Roux-en-Y-anastomosis in a cadaver model. The resected stomach was removed through an enlarged trocar incision. The described technique has been successfully performed in one patient with early gastric cancer.
