[Laparoscopy Assisted Subtotal Gastrectomy(BillrothⅠ Reconstruction)for Gastric Cancer in the Upper Stomach-A Report of Three Cases].

We experienced 3 cases of upper gastric cancer who underwent BillrothⅠ reconstruction in laparoscopy assisted subtotal gastrectomy. Two cases were female and 1 was male. The postoperative course was uneventful in all cases without heartburn, and the surgical margin was negative. The body weight loss rate was 5.8-12.6%, and the short-term results were relatively acceptable. Although the number of cases in this study was small, reconstruction with BillrothⅠ/delta-shaped anastomosis after laparoscopy assisted subtotal gastrectomy were considered to be useful.
