A modified efficient purse-string stapling technique (mEST) that uses a new metal rod for intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy in laparoscopic total gastrectomy

Figure 3. Anvil preparation for the EST (5). (A) The tip of a green plastic rod is tapered to blunt the tip. The rod is attached to the shaft of the anvil, and the needle and thread are sutured to the tip of the rod. Another thread is tied at the neck of the shaft; (B) after complete insertion of the anvil, the needle and thread are used to penetrate the anterior esophageal wall, and the esophagus is then clamped using a linear stapler just distal to the site penetrated by the thread; (C) the linear stapler is fired, and anvil placement in the esophagus is simultaneously accomplished; (D) rod removal. The rod is rotated and pulled to remove it from the anvil. EST, efficient purse-string stapling technique.

Translational Gastroenterology and Hepatology is now indexed in PubMed/PMC: A tremendous step forward

We are honored to announce that Translational Gastroenterology and Hepatology (TGH, Figure 1) has passed all the evaluation required by PubMed Centre (PMC) and is officially accepted for inclusion in PubMed/PMC, two important and extensive biomedical digital databases, which means authors publishing in TGH will enjoy maximum exposure of their research. All previously published content on TGH will be searchable within 1-2 months. TGH would like to express sincere appreciation for the enthusiastic and vigorous support and contributions from all board members, guest editors, reviewers, authors, and readers.
