Laparoscopic subtotal resection of stomach according to Roux.
Professor A.Forgione (Italy) is performing an operation (2017).

In this video the technique of laparoscopic subtotal resection of stomach according to Roux for cancer of the antral part is presented. Mobilization of stomach along the greater curvature and lesser curvature is done with the help of a 5 mm Harmonic Scalpel Ethicon instrument. Stitching of colon and stomach is done by a linear endoscopic Ethicon apparatus, using 60 mm white and blue casettes. Gastrointestinal anastomosis and interintestinal anastomosis are formed by a linear endoscopic Ethicon apparatus by a 45 mm blue cassette. The preparation is placed into a special plastic container MEDTRONIC COVIDIEN, that is removed at the end of operation through the expanded access.
