Article Abstract
Background: Globally, totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy is increasingly being accepted by surgeons for the treatment of gastric cancer. Overlap anastomosis and π-shaped anastomosis are the two most commonly used anastomosis methods in total laparoscopic surgery; however, their safety and suitability for the population are still unclear.
Methods: A total of 162 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent total laparoscopic total gastrectomy with overlap or π-shaped anastomosis were retrospectively analyzed. The intraoperative conditions and postoperative complications were compared.
Results: A significant difference in the tumor location was found between the two groups (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay between the two anastomosis methods (p > 0.05); however, the π-shaped anastomosis group had more postoperative anastomotic leakage (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Overlap anastomosis is recommended as the preferred anastomosis for totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy, and π-shaped anastomosis can be applied to non-gastroesophageal junction cancer with lower tumor location.

Objectives: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) conduits can achieve good outcomes for multivessel lesions. This study evaluated early angiographic patency and outcomes following off-pump CABG (OPCAB) using only in situ BITA and right gastroepiploic artery (rGEA) grafts.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included patients undergoing OPCAB using only in situ skeletonized BITA and rGEA grafts (July 2007 to March 2019).

Before the period of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), individuals with biliary tract diseases would undergo side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy, and sump syndrome used to develop as a complication of this procedure. There is retention of bile along with debris or calculi, and refluxed duodenal contents in the common bile duct, which leads to biliary and pancreatic complications. This syndrome's pathophysiology often results when the distal common bile duct below the anastomosis becomes a blind pouch (), leading to stasis of bile, food debris, and bacteria, which can lead to obstruction and infection.

A 75-year-old man with a history of open surgical repair for a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm presented with an aortic pseudoaneurysm at the anastomosis and a celiac artery aneurysm. During endovascular treatment, multiple celiac artery branches were embolized, and an aortic stent graft was placed to cover the aortic anastomosis and celiac artery origin. Four days post-treatment, a computed tomography scan revealed poor enhancement and fluid collection in the pancreatic body and tail, indicating acute ischemic pancreatitis with pancreatic necrosis.

Background: For pediatric patients, there is still controversy regarding the anastomotic technique used for gastrointestinal construction. The study was to evaluate the continuous single-layer (CSL) intestinal anastomosis method compared with the two-layered interrupted anastomosis.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the eligible patients following CSL anastomosis ( = 252) and interrupted double-layer (IDL) anastomosis ( = 196).
