Modified Billroth-I Delta­Shaped Anastomosis After Distal Gastrectomy
Takahiro Kinoshita
35

35.1 Introduction

Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is increasingly imple­mented worldwide according to the positive outcomes of some randomized studies. In terms of reconstruction, several methods have been attempted such as Billroth-I, Billroth-II, or Roux-en-Y. Each method has pros and cons, and probably decisions are made according to the individ­ual patient’s conditions, surgeon’s preference, or regional trends. Advantages of Billroth-I are simplicity, save of time, and physiological passage of foods. In our center, we choose Billroth-I when meeting the following criteria; (i) large enough size of a remnant stomach, (ii) no duodenal invasion, and (iii) no reflux esophagitis or hiatus hernia. Therefore, in general, localized tumors at the antrum or lower stomach body seem to be suitable candidates. As an intracorporeal Billroth-I reconstruction, delta-shaped anas­tomosis only using a linear stapler is broadly accepted [1], which was originated from the concept of functional end­to-end anastomosis.

1. Port placement and patient’s position
The patient is positioned in supine and legs apart with head-up tilt. Five ports are used and the operator stands at the right side of the patient (Fig. 35.1). The first assistant stands at the left side of the patient and the camera assis­tant between the legs (Fig. 35.2). Lateral segment of the liver should be retracted in either method to attain sufficient operative space (Fig. 35.3).
Technical steps
2. Transection of the duodenum
After infrapyloric lymphadenectomy, dissection of the sta­tion No. 6 according to the Japanese Classification [2], the duodenal bulb is skeletonized for consequent transection. Therefore, the duodenum should be normally divided just beneath the pyloric ring in anterior–posterior direction as much as possible using a 60-mm linear stapler advanced from a left lower port.
3. Resection of the stomach
After suprapancreatic and lesser curvature site lymphad­enectomy (No. 1 and No. 3), the stomach is resected. If the tumor is invisible from the serosal surface, intraoperative peroral endoscopy is employed to confirm the tumor loca­tion. Recently, indocyanine green (ICG) injection is also conducted for this purpose. Resection line should be dyed on the stomach wall (Fig. 35.4), and usually requiring twice firing of a 60-mm stapler (Fig. 35.5). The resected specimen is placed in an extraction bag.
4. Testing the tension
After resection of the stomach, simulation should be done to test whether the tension is adequate between the remnant stomach and the duodenum. Both the remnant stomach and the duodenum stump are moved medially to be overlapped (Fig. 35.6). If the tension seems too tight, relevant adhesion

should be lysed or switch to another method should be considered.
5. Creating entry holes for stapler insertion
First, the edge at the greater curvature site of the stomach stump is hold by forceps to be cut in 1 cm in length, being adjusted for stapler’s caliber (Fig. 35.7). A suction device is put into the remnant stomach through this hole to withdraw contents. Then, the edge of the posterior side of the duode­nal stump is held to be cut in a similar way (Fig. 35.8).
6. Gastroduodenostomy using a linear stapler
A 45-mm stapler is introduced from the left lower port and a cartridge site is inserted into the stomach (Fig. 35.9). The stapler is temporarily clamped at the posterior wall site and moved toward the duodenal stump. The duodenal stump is

grasped by forceps to be lifted up and moved a little medi­ally. Temporary clamp is released and an anvil fork of the stapler is gently inserted into the duodenum (Fig. 35.10). The remnant stomach is a slightly twisted to keep a certain distance between the stomach stump and the anastomotic line aiming no ischemic area. Regarding the duodenum, such a twisting is not required because the stump will be resected together when closing the common entry hole by stapler. After verifying that both intestinal walls are fas­tened in 40–45 mm in length with no gap, the stapler can be fired (Fig. 35.11). After removal of the stapler, hemostasis on the staple line should be proved using the suction device.
7. Closure of the common entry hole
Using a 3-0 suture material, three or four stay sutures are placed in advance. These sutures should be stitched at the

stapling, the 45-mm stapler is used. Only 30-mm length is utilized very close to the edge of the hole to avoid anas­tomotic stricture. Stretching the entry hole in straight line by retracting the stay sutures is mandatory. As a second stapling, the 60-mm stapler is used. In this stapling, the duodenal stump is resected at the same time so that the operator should control the position of it. The stapler must be clamped and released several times to find the best sta­pling position (Fig. 35.13).
8. After finishing the anastomosis, a nasogastric tube is introduced into the stomach and air-tight test is employed to confirm the integrity (Fig. 35.14).

Robotic Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

36.1 Introduction

Gastrectomy with extended lymph node dissection is the only standard curative treatment for locally advanced gas­tric cancer. The development of laparoscopic surgery has changed much in gastric cancer surgery over recent dec­ades, and robotic technology tried to overcome the limi­tations of laparoscopic surgery [1, 2]. However, basic principle of robotic gastrectomy is same as open gastrec­tomy. Then, what is standard gastrectomy? The answer for this question is not simple because the standard D2 gastrec­tomy has evolved over 60 years. Currently, it is believed important to keep “surgical plane based on embryological origin” to perform an en bloc dissection of mesogastrium. The difficulty comes from the fact that pancreas is in the middle of the mesogastrium and should be saved with major vessels like common hepatic artery, splenic artery, and splenic vein. Suprapancreatic nodal dissection must be the most challenging part of the surgery with laparoscopic approach due to the technological limitation. Robotic sur­gery could have a role in this technological challenge of laparoscopic gastric surgery [3].
Robotic gastrectomy has several advantages over lapa­roscopic gastrectomy including flexibility of instruments, a three-dimensional view, correction of hand tremors, and improved ergonomics. These advantages are favorable for lymph node dissection while avoiding vessel injury and mini­mizing damage to adjacent organs [46] However, robotic

gastrectomy has limitations in lack of tactile sense, longer duration of operating time due to the additional time for the robotic arms comparing with laparoscopic gastrectomy.

36.2 Indication

Robotic subtotal gastrectomy is indicated in the presence of malignancy. Although it has been widely accepted as an appropriate treatment in early gastric cancer, performing the operation in advanced gastric cancer is still controversial similar to laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy.

36.3 Description of the Surgical Steps (See Video 36.1)

The key steps to perform a robotic distal gastrectomy are:
1. General preparation of the patient, surgical team,
and placement of trocars
After induction of general anesthesia, the patient is placed in supine position. The skin of the lower chest and upper abdomen is prepared in a routine manner.
A 12-mm port is placed by open technique above the umbilicus, and a pneumoperitoneum to 12 mmHg is estab­lished. Under direct vision, three 8-mm robotic trocars are placed, two ports in the upper abdomen at the midclavicular line on the left (robotic arm No. 1) and on the right (robotic arm no. 2) and one port at the right anterior axillary line (robotic arm No. 3). In addition, a 12-mm port for the assis­tant is placed between the left robotic port and the camera port. Each trocar requires a distance of at least 7–8 cm for the motion (Fig. 36.1).

mesocolon should be dissected to avoid damage to the transverse mesocolon (Fig. 36.3).
4. Left gastroepiploic vessel ligation and No. 4sb
Lymph node dissection
The partial omentectomy is performed in the direction of the spleen lower pole, the spleen lower pole and distal pan­creas are identified. When the dissected omentum is lifted up, the contour of the left gastroepiploic vessel branching from the splenic artery and vein appears. After branch­ing the left gastroepiploic vessel from the splenic vessels, there are vessels to the greater omentum. Vessel ligature should be made at its proximal part, so that it is preserved (Fig. 36.4).
When operator lifts the greater omentum including No. 4sb and No. 4d lymph node, the boundary between greater curvature of stomach and omentum appears, which is eas­ier to separate by ultrasonic device. Unlike conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy, articulated movement can easily dissect it without adjusting the angle of the surgical plane

out at the inferior of the right subcostal margin. After cut­ting the needle, phrenoesophageal ligament is clipped with thread together (Fig. 36.2). Then the thread is pulled and tied.
3. Left partial omentectomy
Left partial omentectomy is performed at a distance of 3–4 cm from the gastroepiploic vessel arcade. Operator holds the stomach anterior wall and lifts it up, it is easy to observe the vessel going to the greater omentum. The physiologic plane between greater omentum and transverse

5. Right partial omentectomy and Right gastroepiploic
vessel ligation and No. 6 and No. 14v Lymph node dissection
Partial omentectomy is performed toward right side on starting site of the left partial omentectomy. After dissec­tion along the physiology plane between greater omentum and transvers mesocolon, the head of pancreas is identified. By lifting the right gastroepiploic vessel, operator can occa­sionally vertically erect or tilt it to identify and expose the surrounding major structures. First, physiologic adhesion of posterior wall of stomach and pancreas body should be divided to identify gastroduodenal artery (Fig. 36.6). Then,

The border of the No. 6 lymph node is separated from the upper margin of the anterior superior pancreaticoduode­nal vein (ASPDV) (Fig. 36.8). After identifying and ligat- ing the right gastroepiploic vein branching from proximal of ASPDV and right accessory colic vein, ligate the right gastroepiploic artery from the posterior right gastroepiploic vein (Figs. 36.9 and 36.10). Infrapyloric vessels should be ligated because hemostasis is not easy by ultrasonic device (Fig. 36.11).
6. Rt. Gastric vessels ligation, No. 5 Lymph node dis-
section, and duodenal resection
After No. 6 lymph node dissection, Put the gauze between the duodenum and the pancreas and Let the assistant pull the duodenum downward. Then supraduodenal vessels are exposed (Fig. 36.12).
Common hepatic artery, proper hepatic artery, and right gastric artery should be identified and then ligated the ori­gin of right gastric artery with No. 5 lymph node dissection simultaneously (Fig. 36.13). Duodenal resection is per- formed by stapler through assistant port (Fig. 36.14).
