METHOD FOR PROXIMAL GASTRIC RESECTION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, surgery. SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with treating gastric cancer. One should form a tube out of submucous-mucous layer along the minor curvature of gastric stump to be anastomosed with a single-row suture with submucous- mucous esophageal layer. Moreover, submucous esophageal layer is opened for the distance of 2.0 cm. Anastomosis is invaginated into gastric stump's lumen. After anastomosis invagination one should perform adaptation of muscular layers of gastric stump and esophagus with sutures. Ligamentous esophageal apparatus is restored. Esophagogastric valve is created due to lateral invagination if esophagus and esophagogastric anastomosis between gastric stump's walls. The method provides success and are flux nature of esophagogastric anastomosis and resistance of valvular mechanism to disinvagination. EFFECT: higher efficiency of resection. 12 dwg, 1 ex
