               Abstract
               Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical feasibility and efficacy of the intracorporeal hemi-hand-sewn
               (IC-HHS) technique for Billroth-I gastroduodenostomy in comparison with extracorporeal total hand-sewn (EC-THS)
               anastomosis. We also examined the size of resected specimens in each procedure.


               Methods: The number of enrolled cases of EC-THS and IC-HHS anastomosis groups were 85 and 110 cases, respectively.
               Perioperative data and the measured sizes of resected specimens were analyzed.

               Results: Operation time in the IC-HHS group was significantly longer than the EC-THS group (234.8 min vs. 275.0 min,
               P < 0.01), whereas intraoperative blood loss was less in the IC-HHS group (48.4 mL vs. 25.4 mL, P = 0.03). There were
               no procedure-related complications in the IC-HHS group. The greater curvature of the EC-THS group was significantly
               shorter than the IC-HHS group (214.6 mm vs. 228.7 mm, P < 0.01). There was no correlation between body mass index
               (BMI) and the length of the greater curvature in the IC-HHS group (r = 0.07, P = 0.47), but in the EC-THS group, the
               length of the greater curvature tends to shorten as BMI increases (r = -0.45, P < 0.01).

               Conclusion: IC-HHS technique for Billroth-I gastroduodenostomy revealed feasible with acceptable operation time and
               postoperative outcome. Another advantage of total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy that intracorporeal transection can
               facilitate is to ensure an adequate proximal margin, especially in obese middle gastric cancer patients.
