    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) has been accepted as a representative function-preserving procedure for early gastric cancer (EGC) in the middle stomach. Totally, intracorporeal laparoscopic gastrectomy can provide better aesthetics, be less invasive, and allow faster postoperative recovery. Here, we first describe the surgical procedure of totally laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy with intracorporeal hand-sewn anastomosis (TLPPG-IHSA). METHODS: After standard procedure of lymph node dissection and middle stomach resection, we used two double-needle barbed sutures to perform a layer-to-layer manual anastomosis of the anterior and posterior walls in the abdominal cavity. Twelve patients with preoperatively diagnosed clinical EGC located in the middle third of the stomach underwent TLPPG-IHSA between August 2019 and January 2021. RESULTS: A total of 12 patients with EGC successfully underwent TLPPG-IHSA. Only one patient (8.3%) suffered postoperative gastric stasis. No complications or recurrence occurred in other patients during half a year after surgery. CONCLUSION: TLPPG-IHSA is considered technically feasible to treat EGC located in the middle third of the stomach.
