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.
