41.1 Description of the Surgical Procedure (See Video 41.1)

The key steps to perform a Robot-assisted Total Gastrectomy are
1. Preparation. Position of patient. Trocar placement.
Start with laparoscopy
Patient is put into straight supine position. The trocar posi­tioning is similar for all different extend of gastric cancer resection. Camera trocar is placed in supraumbilical position. Overall, four other trocars are placed, one assistant 12 mm trocar on the patient’s right side and one 8 mm robotic trocar at least 8 cm away from the camera trocar and some centim­eters above. Two 8 mm trocars are placed most laterally and above and are placed under careful vision in order to provide the highest range of motion for the instruments [1]. In con­trary to the laparoscopic gastrectomy setting (sharp V-angle), the trocars in robot-assisted gastrectomy are more placed in a round (smiling) shape position with more caudal location of the lateral trocars in order to avoid external robotic arm colli­sion. The right 12 mm trocar is used for the assistant to bring in and out gauze, use suction or retrieve small pieces of tis­sue, and to insert stapler, if desired (Fig. 41.1) [2].
The liver can be retracted by the use of two sutures that
are pierced through the middle upper abdomen and tied on

a gauze. The first suture is catching the ligamentum teres hepatis and exposes the area of pylorus and hepatoduodenal ligament. The second suture is clipped on the hiatal arch in order to lift up the left liver and expose the esophagogastric junction and lesser curvature (Fig. 41.2a, b).
Robotic system is docked, and instruments are to be brought in (Figs. 41.3a, b and 41.4). One good option is to use an energy device in the left 8 mm trocar as right hand of the surgeon. Fenestrated bipolar forceps are used as the oper­ator’s left hand through the right lateral 8 mm trocars. Third instrument (fenestrated, e.g., Cadiere forceps) is inserted through the left patient’s side to provide traction. As haptic feedback is lacking in robotic surgery so far, it has to be men­tioned that these instruments are feasible to use under visual control to provide gentle tissue handling (Fig. 41.5a, b).
2. Omentectomy and greater curvature
The resection begins with the omentectomy. In case of cT3 or cT4, total omentectomy is performed; in case of cT1 and cT2, partial omentectomy including 3 cm distance from the arcade represents an appropriate extend. Before finding the correct plane, the stomach can be lifted up to invite air into the lesser sac in order to separate the omentum from the underlying structures. Omentectomy starts along the stom­ach’s lower body and is proceeded in direction to the spleen and the left gastroepiploic vessels which are clipped and cut (Fig. 41.6a, b, c).
The short gastric vessels can be safely clipped as well. If bleeding occurs or the exposure is difficult, further mobili­zation and dissection of the stomach can be carried out first. The greater curvature is mobilized up to the left crus of dia­phragm, where the esophagus is mobilized from left side. If the exposure is good, the suprapancreatic lymph node dis­section can be started from the left pancreas upper border along the splenic vessels (Fig. 41.7).
Then, the omentectomy is completed to the right side and finished by dividing the plane toward the gallbladder. Then, the infrapyloric region is exposed.

3. Infrapyloric node dissection
For the infrapyloric dissection, the stomach is gently grasped at the posterior side of antrum by the third arm and lifted above and to the left side of the patient. The right gas­troepiploic vessels should be in orthogonal position with good exposure of the avascular fusion plane of infrapyloric tissue and mesocolon (Fig. 41.8).
For better mobilization, the pylorus and duodenum first
portion (posterior) is dissected from the pancreas. The
desired extend of duodenal resection can be decided; the gastroduodenal artery can be exposed usually (Fig. 41.9).
The fusion plane of infrapyloric tissue and mesocolon is then carefully divided first anterior, then in direction of gallbladder, and finally the anterior side of the duodenum is exposed (Fig. 41.10).
The infrapyloric tissue is dissected along the pancreas, and the gastroepiploic vein, artery, and infrapyloric artery are clipped and cut. Now, the stomach is prepared on the
33541 Robot-Assisted Total Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer
Now, a retroduodenal window is dissected between right gas­tric artery and first portion of duodenum (Fig. 41.12a–d).
Then, the dissection is continued toward the hepatoduo­denal ligament, dissecting lymph node station #12a over the proper hepatic artery. The right gastric vessels are exposed at its roots, clipped, and cut (Fig. 41.13a–c).
Now, the duodenum is transected with the linear sta­pler (Fig. 41.14a, b). Duodenal stump is resutured (Fig. 41.15a, b).
After transection of the duodenum, lymph node dissec­tion completion in the suprapancreatic area can be easier.

4. Right gastric vessels and hepatoduodenal ligament
One gauze is put behind right gastric artery under the stomach in the lesser sac. This gauze will act as a cushion to protect injury of underlying structures such as common hepatic artery, and it also lifts up the right gastric artery for better dissection.

The suprapancreatic lymph node dissection can be started when the antrum is lifted for infrapyloric dissection. But after transection of the duodenum, the exposure might be easier.
Lymph node station #8a is carefully dissected on the upper pancreatic border along the common hepatic artery up to the roots of left gastric artery. Normally, the left gas­tric vein appears on the way and is cut after clipping. A good way of retraction is to hold up the left gastric artery toward the ventral side with the third arm. Putting a gauze between the third arm’s joint and the liver can provide addi­tional liver retraction if necessary (Fig. 41.16a, b).

Most important maneuver for a good exposure of the suprapancreatic area is gentle retraction of the pancreas. Therefore, a gauze should be placed on the pancreas, and with an opened assistant’s grasper, the pancreas can be gen­tly rolled downwards to expose the vessels on the upper border. This maneuver is believed to be safer when per­formed by the assistant rather than by robotic arm. The ven­tral traction of the third arm and the countertraction of the assistant provide best exposure of the suprapancreatic area (Fig. 41.17).
When clearing the root of left gastric artery, the supra­pancreatic dissection goes over to lymph node station #11p. For a radical dissection, the splenic vein has to be exposed as well as the artery. Along the splenic vessel dissection, a posterior gastric vessel might occur. The lymph node sta­tion #11d can be dissected by either following the splenic vessels further or starting from the splenic hilum going direction towards left gastric artery (Fig. 41.18a, b).

behind, representing lymph node station #9, might be bet­ter, so the dissection of this particular station can be com­pleted (Fig. 41.19a–d).

7. Reconstruction: Roux-en-Y (laparoscopic)
The esophagus is ligated with a U-tape so that the assistant can easily retract downwards. It also prevents spillage of lumen content. Before transection, the esophagus is opened longitudinal with monopolar device on the anterior side just below the desired transection line. The circular stapler anvil (25 mm) is prepared with a 2 cm needle suture connected
to the anvil trocar. The anvil is pushed through the open­ing into the esophagus completely, but the connected nee­dle is still in reach. The needle is now stitched through the esophagus on the posterior side above the level of intended transection. The anvil is pulled through, but not completely. Now the transection of the esophagus can be performed with linear stapler. Transection should be performed above the anterior opening to assure whole circumference is included. For that, the edges of the opening can be grasped by the assistant if necessary. The anvil can be pulled through completely now, and anvil trocar is removed (Figs.
41.21a, b, 41.22a, b, 41.23a, and 41.24a, b). The specimen
is put into a specimen bag and retrieved (Fig. 41.25a, b).
Ligament of Treitz is visualized, and the jejunum is fol­lowed 20 cm aboral direction for transection. Orientation can be given by marking the small bowel with color for right direction and distance. If the patient’s constitution allows, the jejunojejunostomy can be performed extracor­poreally. Therefore, the supraumbilical port incision can be extended up to 5 cm. The specimen is retrieved though this minilaparotomy. Then, the jejunum can be transected and re-anastomosed 35 cm distal from desired location for esophagojejunostomy by side-to-side linear stapling. The stapler opening is closed by 3-0 polyfilament absorbable continuous suture (Fig. 41.26a, b).
