Article Abstract
Proximal gastrectomy (PG) in combination with jejunal pouch interposition is a technique aimed at improving the postoperative dietary outcomes; however, some cases are reported to require surgical intervention owing to difficulty of food intake caused by pouch dysfunction. Herein, we present a case of robot-assisted surgery for interposed jejunal pouch (IJP) dysfunction in a 79-year-old male, occurring 25 years after the initial PG for gastric cancer. The patient had chronic anorexia for 2 years and was treated with medications and dietary guidance; however, 3 months prior to admission his quality of life had reduced, owing to worsening symptoms. The patient was diagnosed with pouch dysfunction due to extremely dilated IJP identified using computed tomography and underwent robot-assisted total remnant gastrectomy (RATRG) with IJP resection. After an uneventful course of intraoperative and postoperative treatment, he was discharged with sufficient food intake on postoperative day 9. RATRG can, thus, be considered in patients with IJP dysfunction after PG.

Aim: This study explores the evolving landscape of gastrectomy procedures in Japan, based on nationwide surveys conducted in 2014 and 2021. It highlights changes in surgical approaches, including a growing focus on minimally invasive and function-preserving procedures, as well as the increasing consideration of postoperative quality of life (QOL).
Methods: Two nationwide questionnaire surveys were conducted in 2014 and 2021, targeting members of the Japanese Society for Gastro-surgical Pathophysiology.

Background And Aims: Candy cane syndrome is a rare adverse event of gastric bypass or gastrectomy, where a blind jejunal pouch fills with food, causing dilation and compression of the efferent limb, leading to obstructive symptoms like vomiting and regurgitation. Surgical resection is curative but technically challenging, and endoscopic treatment using lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) insertion has been attempted.
Methods: This case describes a retrograde LAMS insertion in a patient with previous total gastrectomy who presented a decade later with dysphagia and food regurgitation.
One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is gaining popularity among bariatric procedures. However, data on the number and outcomes of revisional surgeries is scarce. This study included patients undergoing OAGB revision in a high-volume centre between January 2020 and October 2024.

The domains of gastric surgery are nowadays oncological resections, often as part of multimodal treatment concepts. Depending on the extent of the gastric resection as total, proximal or distal (or subtotal) gastrectomy, different methods of reconstruction are available. These reconstruction procedures have not basically changed with the implementation of minimally invasive or robotic techniques but the spectrum of possible anastomotic techniques has been substantially expanded.
